Forget “towing capacity” Its more a marketing number, in reality you’ll hit the rear axel or GVWR long before you run into tow capacity. Also, all 3 brand trucks are limited by the tire wt. ratings available in these size tires which is around 3650#. So 2 of those give 7300# on the rear axle, subtract off the rear axle empty wt. and you’ll have your cargo or pin wt capacity.

So true and my happy towing experience. Funny story, the first time I towed our 310GK in heavy wind I was totally unaware until we stopped at a rest stop and I opened the door to let my dogs out and had a hell of a time keeping it from slamming in on us. When my wife got out of her car she said "wow that wind was something, how did you do towing? I told her I was unaware until I opened the doors.

I have been towing a 310gk since 2017 with a 2017 Chevy 3500 SRW. I added some weight to my truck and it is heavy! I added a heavy duty front bumper and 18k winch, 60 gallon aluminum fuel tank with pump and carry a 5500 watt Onan quiet diesel generator in the bed of the truck. One thing I found out early is to travel with a full tank of freshwater in the 310 because it removes weight from the pin. I won't lie, I am over on my trucks gvw rating, but under on axle ratings barely. I have upgraded tires on the truck that increases weight capacity to 3640 each and wheels that are rated at the same. My truck handles like a dream and with the disc brakes on the 310, stopping is effortless. With the factory drum brakes on the 310, stopping was a bigger risk for a law suit than anyone should ever worry about being a little over on the truck. If I want to be legal in my truck, I just burn off some of my extra fuel which doesn't take long. I run my truck and trailer across free Wyoming DOT scales all the time and weigh each axle. The only time I was concerned was on a trip in Jan of 19 when my fresh water valve didn't seal and leaked out all of my fresh water. It added over 400 lbs to my pin!
