and remember, too, your manual will be generic for all half tons. Check your door jam for a sticker showing maximum towing weight, that will be vehicle specific, as everyone else pointed out.]]> Tue, 23 Sep 2014 16:09:11 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5335&PID=51940#51940 newbie here.... : welcome to everything Pods! http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5335&PID=51845#51845 Author: kymooses

If you use the manual don't forget a safety margin. Just because it says you can tow it, doesn't mean that you should. ]]> Mon, 22 Sep 2014 21:17:04 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5335&PID=51843#51843 newbie here.... : Welcome to the group.

What Tech said.
In my (Chevy) pickup manual there are different tow weights for every different:
engine
transmission
bed size
cab size
rear axle ratio
2wd vs. 4wd

Use the manual. The numbers should be based on the complete drivetrain.

I found this towing calculator on another post within the forum. I would like to give credit to whoever posted it originally, but I can't find it again. Fortunately I saved it as an important tool. It's a bit complicated, but well worth the trouble.

You'll have to copy and paste the link because I still haven't figured out how to post a live link in this forum, that works. Good Luck!

Welcome. The best source of info is to look in your owner's manual, which will list a range of towing weights based on options on your truck (4 wheel drive vs. 2 wheel drive, for example). You can look up a general number on the internet, if necessary.]]> Mon, 22 Sep 2014 15:48:07 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5335&PID=51819#51819 newbie here.... : Hello All,I am a newbie on... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5335&PID=51816#51816 Author: jbr549
