Josh Kalif is the guys name.

A DI and a DII will tow 7,000lbs., they are rated for 7,700lbs to be exact.

I realize the D1 and D2 are rated for 7700 pounds. The LR3 is rated for 7700 also but makes doesn't list a different capacity for hi and lo range like the D1 and D2. Plus 300hp will more easily move the trailer than 200, simple physics.

2004 D2 - Max on-road weight (high range) with brakes, 4410lbs.
Max low range weight, 7700lbs.

I also know that non-NAS trucks don't separate between hi and lo range capacity but apparently something gets changed to make it an NAS vehicle that makes the separation necessary.

I just dont believe that though, I think the reason there is a rating difference is because of it being a NAS and no other reason, same axles, same trans, same everything just that we drive on the correct side of the road.
Ooo,oooo, maybe its because when the driver sides over the diffs it equalizes the weight better and thus you can tow more!

How often do you tow your big trailer?
