But nothing is mentioned in Manuel for 3.08. Any thoughts? My GCWR is 7400 lbs. I would be well under this weight with trailer and family loaded.
7400 is probably your GVWR. Your GCWR is 11k. While you may still be under GVWR, at 5400 dry and 6000 suburban curb weight, your GCWR would be 11,400. So you are overloaded at (at least) two ratings.
