With all these towing threads I decided to look into my truck and boat combo a little more.
2002 Tige 22ir
Boat is 4,120 lbs according to tige.
Fuel 47 gallons= 300lbs
(Guessing) trailer 1,800lbs
(Guessing) Gear 500lbs
TOTAL is 6,720
Now my truck
2008 Silverado 1500 Crew Cab
6,600 towing capacity
normally me, my girlfriend, and two other people. Est. 550lbs
I just learned that if i had the 3.73 gears it would 7,600 towing capacity. i have 3.42.
How unsafe is this?
