I recently bought a 1994 2500 Chevy Cheyenne pick-up 7200 GVW, 5.7L , 4 speed (overdrive) auto trans, 2WD, 8' bed, standard cab. It looks as though there's a camper/towing package on it, eng. Oil cooler, trans cooler, & a 4 core radiator.

When my truck was built there were two versions of the Chevy ¾ ton trucks!
Standard Duty 7200 GVW & a Heavy Duty 8600 GVW.
They both use the same frame/eng/trans, But the HD has bigger brakes & suspension parts, Also the 7200 has six lug rims & the HD 8600 has eight lug rims.

What I'm looking for is the GCVWR (Gross Combination Vehicle Weight Rating) so I can figure out what the max. trailer weight is that I can pull with the (6 lug) standard 7200 GVW version ¾ ton Chevy Truck.
