Did you weigh it? Unless the truck was really loaded you were probably closer to 16,000. Just a guess. My son has an Imagine 2670MK with a dry weight of 6600lbs (about 800lbs higher than yours). He was loaded heavy and the TT weighed 8100lbs (GVWR on his TT is about 8500lbs). We scaled it with his 2018 2500 6.4 4.10's and it came in at 16,180lbs. That was with a full tank of fuel and me and him both in it. He also had a bunch of stuff in the back seat. We were headed to Baytown, TX. He pretty much lives in his TT for work so he is always towing heavy. Truck was 8100lbs and TT was also 8100lbs. Not being argumentative at all, just for awareness and information.
My step-son just bought a 2021 Imagine 3250BH and I towed it 100 miles from the dealership with my 2018 2500 6.4 4.10's (my truck and my sons are identical). We weighed it at 17,260lbs. The TT weighed 9300lbs. Absolutely no trouble at all towing it.
Either way, I agree with your assessment. My son has towed his 2670MK about 8000 miles across the country and has not ever felt he needed more power.
No it’s just a guesstimate and might be an over estimate but I know it’s heavier than usual due to the fact we brought the whole house with us it seems like. We’ve never been on this long of a trip before. We are carrying a generator and fuel for the generator too. I have a weigh safe hitch and the tongue weight is at 1100lbs and that’s about 150lbs more than usual too. But yeah it still did great. The dry weight on mine is over 6100 per the sticker on the side.
