Here is my 2019 AT4 Carbon Pro 6.2L with 24' Intech enclosed trailer - 4,501 lbs empty - 9,500 fully loaded.  This photo is without load leveling hitch - 2.5" of drop - tongue weight about 750 lbs.  

Plan to add air bags in the back to compliment load level hitch - plenty of power - but wind does move the trailer around - especially when empty.  Truck tows it fine, but when loaded I miss my 3/4 ton diesel truck - but when I am not towing I do not miss it at all - much prefer this truck.

So many have talked about the amount of squat and your looks better than i would have expected with that trailer. Any chance you have a pic of it loaded? Also by the way i am super jealous of the trailer!!! I have the AT4 6.2 and a custom ordered 14 ft open utility trailer but a nice enclosed would be awesome.

I post up a pic next time I have it loaded up - at shop right now getting power jack, winch and load leavel hitch all installed, so likely will have no squat at that point, but we shall see.  

 

Here is my heaviest car that will go inside - and with it and stuff I will be pushing 9,500 lbs.

Beautiful Z28, any more pictures?

 

Saw a couple in person, pretty rare, always kind of liked the ZL1 just because of the amenities, but if you are not driving it every day, you made the right choice.

Enjoy the Z very much as a weekend and track car.  1,801 total made about 100 +/- have been totaled, 135 +/- have headed overseas - so rare indeed.

 

Here are a few more photos

100 totaled, very sad statistic, any idea if there are any close by to "salvage" some parts?

 

Last one I saw was at the Portland Roadster Show, missing normal life when summer was fun....

Copart seems to get most of them - looks like my number was off a bit - 75 confirmed kills in US - tracked on C5 forum link below.

No pic, there's a reason why, but does pulling a police Tahoe out of a small ditch count?  He spun around on me to stop me for speed, and on his three point turn he slid into the gravel portion and the drive wheel went into the ditch.   

 

I turned around and came to his rescue.  And no, I didn't get a ticket.  It probably helped that I'm also a police officer, but that makes the story less funny.

First trip with new truck. Tows like a dream!

What are the specs of your travel trailer, how does it handle, do you use weight distribution hitch.

 

I just bought my first camper and lets say towing it is not fun. Especially without the WDH. i also feel that the airstream are much better travel trailer for towing.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      True. My statement needs qualification. "For a shade tree mechanic, re-assembling the front engine to achieve a rough baseline timing of 0 degrees, as is approximated and indicated by common visual indicator mark alignment, measured with a human eye capable of 20/20 vision *with correction, I am reasonably confident that I have followed the outlined procedures/ prescribed methods for verifying baseline timing."   😉   In the end, the computer sets the timing, it's continuously variable based on sensor input, and the distributor only has a degree or two of physical adjustability intended for dialing in the final setting for cam ****** once everything is back together. But even that final value is acceptable within, I believe, +/- 3 degrees.   I thought my exhaust project was going to be a bear. To my surprise, the old clamps came right off last night, and I was able to unbolt all the hangers instead of having to muscle the rubber mounts. The old cat is ready to slip off the factory y-pipe. The rest is ready to come out with one or two cuts, and I've got a fresh blade waiting. I love living where rust isn't a thing.

      PF63 Oil Filters Going Away?

      I work at a Chevrolet dealership & hear it all believe me.  Just reads like there's going to be a fist fight over filters.  Can't get enough, continue!!

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I just can't think of the exact term GM uses for that higher gvw package without looking at the website but basically sort of a trailering package and I imagine it may also have been created to skirt around the licensing fee differences between a3/4 and 1 ton that apply in some states although ironically I believe in some states its the reverse that a 1 ton is the cheaper truck to license over a 3/4 ton. It makes no difference here in Alberta but oddly enough a 1 ton through my insurance company is a bit cheaper to insure over a 3/4 ton as its based on the insurance statistics they generate.    For sure when ever you do have the chance to weigh your truck and to be fair, try to have the fuel tank full or nearly so rather than give yourself a false sense of the truck being lighter by having an almost empty tank.    In my other comment I was mentioning stock sized tires and partly in case someone was reading this and thinking they could lower their pressure down to what your aftermarket tires are able to do with your empty truck as that is a vastly different picture in the leeway you have to play with for running minimum pressures while remaining safe. I will say also that its easy to see from reactions of truck owners that may have been more used to owning a half ton in the past or a car and be it on a forum like this or in person etc that they get so wrapped up in that placard pressure sticker that they can't get their head wrapped around the fact that an HD truck due to how much it can carry can also vary the tire pressures drastically lower than those pressures ( typically more so for the rear axle on stock sized tires ) when empty vs some car that isn't made to carry much so the tire pressures can't be lowered since it needs almost that much pressure just to carry the empty car.    If I ever do find myself in the states with this truck, I will only be too happy to switch it over to the US measuring system as then I will understand all the dash readings. The only thing that is off for me slightly with US measurements is US miles per gallon as I grew up with the Imperial gallon and to this day up here anyway speak in Imperial miles per gallon ( I don't do that on this forum though as that would confuse everyone for no good reason ).

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Yes that's right, it's the upgrade that includes the overload spring and all that stuff.   Someday when I'm empty and going by a scale I'm going to stop in and get some weight readings.   Exactly  you should have the ability to change individual settings, in in Canada so I'm driving with kph but then I'm stuck with kpa when I want psi lol
