Suburban Gvwr?

[lilred]

The sticker is pained over on my suburban and I'm not seeing a answer on Google. Can anyone tell me what the gvwr is on a 84 burban, diesel, 3/4 ton, 4wd with hydroboost brakes?

 the GVWR for a K20 suburban should be 8600

yea if I remember right its around 8600-8800lbs..... I think it depends on if you got tow package or not?

I use my 2200 lb trailer with a 5500lb truck hualed in on a 1/2 ton burban and towed a heaver truck on my 86 6.2?

oh and I seen that vid lol ive done 72mph with a traier and a s10 blazer lol

[lilred]

I'm talking DOT laws. We all know I've hauled alot more than I should have...... when you have a s10 on the scales over 6,000lb probaby isnt a good thing. LOL

GVWR=gross vehicle weight rating=rating the vehicle itself can handle.

GCWR=gross COMBINATION weight rating=rating of the truck and trailer combined.



That said, DOT cannot legally enforce trailer weights with light trucks because they are not defined on VIN/Identification plates.

But that goes without saying, they CAN enforce you axle weight ratings (GAWR front and rear) on the Suburban. And enforce unsafe hauling/improper hitches/lack of trailer brakes, etc etc.
