Hi jjmoore. Hauling 7300lbs is not going to be any different from hauling 7200. Of course, with that much load, everything will wear down quicker. Bearings, joints, transmission, suspension, you name it.

On a different topic, I've been looking for an AWD owner. I would really appreciate if you could offer some information in my post here: https://chevroletforum.com/forum/express-savana-g-series-vans-30/technical-information-32754/
