I have a 2020 Silverado 4wd crew cab with the 4.3l v6. I am looking to tow a camper that weighs about 7700 pounds. I realize that this is right on the weight limit. I am unsure of how confident to be towing this, even if it's technically right on the limit. What are some factors to consider here? Is the conventional hitch even capable of doing this? I was planning to upgrade to a weight distributing hitch but I am kind of at a loss as to what is possible here.

 

It isn't the weight its the wind load that is going to kill that 4.3. Your truck doesn't have a transmission cooler Take it from someone who knows I had your truck You wont be happy.
