So I have a 2017 Silverado 1500 5.3 3.42 gears with towing package(not NHT). I have installed Bilstein 5100s on all four corners. Tow mirrors being shipped as we speak. Air bags are up next. Here is my dilemma. My wife has her heart set on a Forest River Vibe 32BH. It is 38 feet long, dry weight of 7400#, cargo capacity of 2300# and a hitch weight of 930# fully loaded. I don’t plan to ever haul with full water, and I highly doubt I ever put 2300# of gear in it. We plan on towing it in our local area with 1 trip a year from Virginia to New York. I will also be the only one in the vehicle when towing as she and the kids will go in our van. Just want to get some of your thoughts on this setup. Thank you.

I just bought a 2020 Silverado 1500 with a Duramax 3.0L. Eventually I plan to buy a travel trailer to pull behind it. I would like to hear from similar owners about their experiences travel trailering. How big is your trailer? Weight? Comments and experiences? Thanks. -
Looking to replace the hitch on the truck in my sig. The original one is rather rusty and a bit sketchy. Any recommendations on which hitches I should consider? TT weighs around 7500 loaded.

Greetings, Okay, I'm confused, maybe someone will be able to enlighten me. I've got a 2009 GMC Sierra 1500 extended cab with standard box, 3.42 rear axle, 5.3L V8, 4L60E transmission, and the transmission cooling package. My problem is the specs don't show up in the owners manual so I can't nail down the maximum trailer wieght and gross combination wieight rating. I spoke to the parts guys at the dealership, he pulled the specs from the VIN and said I had a deluxe towing package option, including chasis upgrade. This was one of the reasons I bought the truck way back when, along with a locking rear differental. Looking at the extended cab with short box, I can find 9,600 lbs with 15,000 GCVR. Would anyone be able to clarify this for me? I'm sure I'll be okay, we're looking at buying a travel trailer and I'm figuring around 6,000 lbs max or so. When I bought the truck I was thinking boat, not travel trailer.
