Check your exact vehicle before towing
Unloaded reference: 11,566 lb — 2017 manufacturer model reference; installed options and equipment affect actual weight. Loaded weight will be higher.
Truck classes are shopping recommendations, not manufacturer minimums or towing approval. Check the exact year, engine, axle ratio, cab, drivetrain and towing package. Loaded truck and trailer weights must stay within towing, payload, GVWR, GCWR, axle, tire and hitch limits. Use scale weights to confirm the combination.
Exact-unit labels take precedence over model references. Never use dry weight alone to choose a tow vehicle.
