Gary Lewis Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Gary has all the master manuals to determine what the tow capacity would be with different transmissions, gear ratios, tire load ratings, brake options, etc.. Keep in mind though that that is all tied to your VIN, and while you could upgrade every component you'd still be registered (and insured) according to the door tag. That might not be a big concern to you unless your DOT has weigh stations set up. And then that trailer is not going anywhere until you show up with a truck rated for it. Plus a hefty fine. I'm not trying to be a killjoy or a hall monitor, I just want you to know the path you are about to venture down. The towing specifications can be found here: Specifications/Towing. Jim is right. Further, if you were to get in an accident that looked like it was your fault due to an equipment failure they might check how much you were towing for liability. But, I don't know that it has ever happened. It is just something to think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
