I have been reading the forums as well as other sources trying to make sure I understand GVWR as it relates to towing with the Armada, I am not sure I did this correctly but here goes:
GVWR = 7300 lbs
Curb Weight = 5841 lbs
GVWR 7300 lbs - Curb Weight 5841 lbs = CCC 1459 lbs
CCC 1459 lbs - Trailer Tongue weight 717 lbs = remaining CCC 742 lbs
** If these calculations are correct then I am over GVWR by 79 lbs after adding passengers (no additional cargo).
*** I didn't include the weight of my hitch because I wasn't sure if I was supposed too, if I was supposed to then amount I am over increases to 157 lbs or 179 lbs depending on which hitch I use.
I am scratching my head because in reading and researching and seeing what people say they are towing and the weights they say they are towing I don't understand how anyone with more than two passengers can be towing without going over GVWR.
Am I understanding this correctly, and if so are people just accepting the fact that they are over GVWR and towing anyway?
