Looking for a no nonsense answer to how much I can realistically tow?
The Vehicle:
2016 Silverado Crewcab, short bed
5.3L V8, 6-Speed
3.42 Axle
Specs say my max tow is 9100lbs. I’m looking to tow an RV across the United States from Michigan to California. The trailers I’m looking at are 7500lbs UVW with a GVW of 8500lbs. I don’t expect the tow weight to exceed 8000lbs.
Can I tow something of that size across the country? Will be using a weight distribution hitch with sway control.
Thanks for the input.
