VIN Decoder Questions
Hi. new to the forum and hoping I could get some help on the VIN decoder tool. it has a lot of good information, but the problem is too much information.
I have a 2014 Silverado 1500 2WD double cab with the 5.3 V8 and I am trying to sort out the towing capacity so I know what size camper I can buy.
The VIN decoder has a ton of information, but when it comes to the towing capacity it has multiple options and I don't know which applies.
So, with all that confusion, I figured I would go look in my owner's manual but that's clear as mud too. It has multiple options as well and I simply am not sure what it can be.
I've tried googling for information, but nothing is clear.
Does anyone know how I can figure this out for my truck? Or where I can look? If not, I guess it's a trip to the dealer.
Thanks in advance!

Program Bulletin - NHTSA, This should bring up TSB 14212.
This will give you trailer and gross combined weight ratings (GCWR), based on what cab and box configuration, engine and gear ratio you have. This is an update for your owners manual
Hope this is helpful.
