Re: Real world towing weight 24SD
4800lbs dry, 5200lbs with just a full tank of fuel, I'd say 5500 with your gear. Add a trailer at another 1500lbs or so. More if you tend to store your cooler, skis/wakeboards, luggage, etc. in the boat when going on an expedition. Call it 7,000 lbs plus anything else you add?

Thanks...looks like I better stick with the Expedition Max w tow package vs Yukon XL for the extra 1,000# of tow rating.
Re: Real world towing weight 24SD
What jhnmdahl said would be pretty accurate. I have an R5 that I believe is also listed at 4800lbs dry. Back when I had it on a EZ Loader trailer I had it on a scale with about a half tank of gas and gear but no extra coolers or anything. It weighed 6800lbs.
Re: Real world towing weight 24SD
One of your limits is going to be the receiver on your truck. If your hitch is like my 2018 F-150, it is dead weight rated for 500#. If you really want to run it dead weight, you need a new receiver put on that is rated higher...or use a WDH hitch.
My tongue weight on my R5 is 600# completely empty. I use a WDH.

Re: Real world towing weight 24SD
You're gonna be right at 7k. My R3 with minimal fuel is 5830 on the trailer.....just over 560 tongue weight. My hitch is rated for 6k dead carry/600 tongue.
I'd get EOH on that bad boy....
