4 X 2 crew cab with big tow package tow capacity is 9,200 lbs.

Just to clarify a few things - (4X2 CC with big tow)

The truck can only have 1,600 lbs of cargo (humans, gas, etc...) actually IN the truck. This does NOT take away from the 9,200 lb tow capacity.

BUT, what you tow, and what is in the truck, does come in to play for the GVCW which is 14,600. So the total of the weight of the truck (5,100) plus cargo in truck (750 for me - humans, gas) plus the weight of the trailer and hitch (about 8,400 for me) equals 14,250. So I'm only 400 lbs below the total of what I can be.

Btw, it pulls this weight GREAT at 65mph...
