8200 sounds about right for a 1/2 ton. My Excursion (3/4 ton) is 9200.

Sure do. I keep him around for the bigger loads.. 12200 GVWR & rated to tow 15850. Can't even feel the horse trailer behind it. Speaking of which its good to see the weeniemobile has a box receiver.

I can only tow 9600 lbs :( GCWR is around 15k lb IIRC. Max tongue weight is around 1500#, but the tongue weight is calculated into the gvwr so if you're maxed out on tongue weight you essentially can't carry cargo... factory came with a class IV hitch but the agency that had it had a Class V hitch installed with 4 and 7 pin connectors.




It's an ex GSA truck, fed gov't doesn't care bout cost.... except when comes to useless items, like power locks, or power windows... :x

When I got it, it load range C tires, and the auxiliary trailer wiring harness (required for the 7 pin connector to work) hadn't even been installed.. and the hitch was pretty clean... I don't think they towed much with it, if at all... It did have holes from a truck box... I'm thinking it was DNR/BLM/BIA, or something similar.

Did it come with the buck tooth Setina on the front or did you put that on there?

I installed it.

It looks that way because the grille is angled.

Based upon what you said, I am thinking it was used by Job Corps as a work rig.

When I ran an OASIS report, it showed as delivered in Spokane...

So, it should've been put in service somewhere around there...

Hey Techno, which brand of push guard did you go with?

I'm looking at the Go Rhino option for my Durango. I'm actually going to be spiffing up the Big D in general: new black lights (head and tail) and a black aluminum fuel door. Front (and possibly rear) push guards and nerf bars instead of my cheap, plastic running boards. Since my base color is silver, the black options should really work well.

I wouldn't mind some auxiliary white light on my 'deer-basher' bars.
Relay them from a high beam wire.

Phase 1 of Operation Durango Upgrade is complete. I couldn't post a full size photo. :(

I have the Go Rhino 3000 push bumper and an AMI black gloss billet fuel door installed.
