ICR believes that the strata, the layers of rock in the Grand Canyon, were primarily formed during Noahâs flood perhaps only five thousand years ago. Most geologists, including Christian old-earth creationists, believe that the strata were laid down over hundreds of millions of years. What better way, then, to equip myself for the study of the earthâs age, than to spend nine days around the Grand Canyon (six of them in it) with ICR geologists, physicists, and biologists.
The gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the M998 HMMWV is 7,700lb with a curb weight of 5,200lb. At maximum payload of 2,500lb the vehicle can reach a maximum speed of 65mph. It has seating options of 1+1 or 2+2 based on the configuration. It uses a 12V/24V electrical system and has a fuel tank with a capacity of 95l.
Such a low PIN weight requirement simply does not make sense for a diesel 3/4 ton pickup as a tow vehicle. I can understand a newbie thinking that dry weight is the weight to consider, but not getting so confused about PIN weight. Buffalo, the critical weight to look at is a 5th wheel's GVWR - Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. With your truck anything with a GVWR under 12,000 pounds would be fine, and you can probably go up to 12,500 - 13,000. This covers the vast majority of 5th wheels. The two current best 5th wheel lines with GVWR's under 12,500 pounds are IMO Crossroads Cruisers and KZ Durango 2500's in that order.
