Towing
I have a 2012 Silverado 1500 crew cab 4by4 with the 3.42 rear end. I would be towing a 8n Ford tractor (2400lbs) on a 16' trailer with a 2' dove tail (2500-3000lbs?). Along with a 6'blade and carryall. The truck has a GVWR of 7000lbs, a GAWR FRT of 3950lbs a GAWR RR of 3950lbs. I looked in my owners manual and for my truck it has a max trailer weight of 9500lbs. My truck is all stock, I have a trailer brake controller and trailer has brakes on one axle. Will be driving about 40miles. Pretty much all flat driving with a few small hills. Will my truck be able to handle that load?
