Maximum Towing (lb.)

[aediaz]

I read in MSN Autos that the 02' Av Standar Towing(lb) is 7100lb and the maximun towing capacity is 8100lb. What's the difference between the Standar Towing and Maximun Towing Capacity.

Thanks

Never heard standard towing and Max...

but for 2002  2x4

Towing Capacity with 3.73 Axle:? 7,300 pounds

Towing Capacity with 4.10 Axle:? 8,300 pounds

from: http://www.chevyavalanchefanclub.com/resources/2002/2002_1500_4x2.html

and since there was not a standard or optional rear ratio in 2002... maybe they force the 3.73 rating as standard..??

Wasn't the 4X4 100# lighter, or was it 200#?

I suppose it's time to refresh my memory with reading the manual again.

Make Sense.
