R25SC actual loaded weight ?

[jjdonovan]

What is the gross weight of the R25SC with all standard equipment, full of fuel, water, waste and equipped with all possible options on a Float On aluminum trailer? I currently have a 2013 GMC Sierra SLT 4X4 extended cab 5.3 Liter 6 speed transmission, 3.42 rear axle ratio. It is rated to pull 9600 lbs.

A loaded boat and trailer will be right at or exceed your rating.
My Classic R25 is 8400 pounds in the sling and that is lightly loaded and partial tanks. You SC with full tanks and cruising gear will be right there or more.
Yes you can pull it. But hit the brakes on a tight downhill curve and you will get a thrill 😱

I can't remember what the weight was when I towed with a one-ton Silverado 4x4, diesel and Allison Automatic transmission and no water or waste with 40 gallons of fuel. The truck also had a camper on it, and it towed great.

Having a tow vehicle at its limit, even though legal, will be a most uncomfortable feeling with potential dangerous consequences. Short tows with a marginal vehicle aren't bad, but on a long haul with some hills and valleys one will feel far more secure towing their beloved second home with a vehicle of appropriate capabilities.

Dont do it. 3/4 ton at the least. 400 gears and 4x4. My R25 lightly loaded is 10K lbs on the trailer. Pulling is not the problem....control will be. Get yourself a real truck.
