A few people have expressed concern that my Ford Ranger is too heavy to tow behind my class C motorhome.

At about 13,500lbs, my RV is well within its GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) of 14,050lbs. But what about my GCVWR, or gross combined vehicle weight rating, which limits how much I can tow?

The GCVWR on my rig is a ridiculous 25,000lbs! That means that even if my rig was at its maximum GVWR, I could tow something weighing 10,000lbs!

My Ford Ranger weighs about 3,500lbs (at most).

So my rig is just below its GVWR (by about 550lbs) and well below its GCVWR (by about 8,000lbs). I am not even remotely overloaded.

While I am sure the extra weight will affect handling and fuel efficiency, my RV will do just fine towing my Ford Ranger.
