2500HD curb weights and towing
I am getting ready to replace my 2003 2500HD 8.1 V8 Allison Extended Cab SB with a 2008 2500HD Duramax Crewcab SB. I am towing a 2006 3400RL Monty.
The curb weight for the 2008 4X4 CC is 5983 and 5847 for the extended cab with the same package. Difference of 136 lbs. The max trailer weights for the same setups are 13,600 and 14,300. Difference of 700 lbs. Same type of differences in the 2wd and 4x4 crew cab weights.
Can anyone tell me what causes the bigger difference in max trailer weights?
