Re: Reader's Digest - Truck Sizing
Well, you have 6K lbs in tractor, 2K lbs in implements, figure another 2K lbs for trailer itself, and another misc 0.5Klbs for tie-downs and misc stuff. So you are looking at being able to tow 10,500 lbs, my guess is this puts you in the 3/4-1 ton range. This is the 2500/3500 GM/Chrysler range and 250/350 Ford range. Properly outfitted the Toyota Tundra is rated to do this, but it is the upper end of it's load range.
