I don't recall what my door sticker says, but I ignore it for the rear.
I think it says 55 front and 65 rear.
With no cargo 65 is too much.
I think I run 60 front and 75 rear when towing. Understand that I have at least 1,500 pounds of cargo in the bed.
550 2 motorcycles
100 gas for motorcycles
350 water to supplement TM water tank
060 generator
150 2 full coolers
100 tools
050 canopy
030 chairs
100 security chains
005 white gas
Back seat of TV
050 water and soda cases (assumes 5 pounds per case)
015 beer
050 another cooler for perishables
1,495 in the bed
115+ in the back seat
30 gallons of gas in the tank
200 pounds for me. No husband ever knows their wife's weight.
There is other stuff that I can not think of.
My tires are rated for 80 according to the sidewall. These are factory tires on my 2008 GMC 2500HD.
Hmmm
1,500 cargo
400 TM tongue weight
1,900 pounds total
I wonder what my factory specified limit is?
At least I am now using a 2500HD. I used to load all of this into a 1500HD, but the rear bumper sagged too much.
