Re: [VAL] Gross Combined Wt Rate



Joann,

Looking at the Kelly Blue Book web site reveals a GVWR of 6005 and a 
base payload of 1475, resulting in an unladen weight of 4530.  The 
towing capacity is 7000, this would make the GCWR 11,530.  The problem 
is that the 4530 is probably light and the actual unladen weight.  If 
you weigh the vehicle with driver, full gas, passengers and whatever you 
carry inside and subtract that from 11,530 you should have a reasonable 
towing capacity.
