My new 2006 Silverado
Traded my old 97 Chevy for this 2006. It has a 4.8L V8. Upgrades coming will be a Spectre CAI, Magnaflow Dual exhaust, HID lighting and fog. If you can think of anything else I should or need to add. Please feel free to let me know.

Okay, reality check here: Chances are that, NO, you cannot safely or legally tow that much weight without overloading your truck.
Here's why:
"1 Maximum trailer weight ratings are calculated assuming a BASE vehicle, except for any option(s) necessary to achieve the rating, plus driver. The weight of other optional equipment, passengers and cargo will reduce the maximum trailer weight your vehicle can tow."

I like the 4.8. It has done the work I need it to do. I only haul minor things around such as dirt, grass (lawn grass), and home improvement things. In city gas is terrible, but better on highway. Couldn't imagine how much worse the 5.3 would be. Then again it should be obvious that I wasn't looking for fuel economy when I bought a truck. All in all, I'm happy with the power the 4.8 gives me. Thanks

Tried forever to log into this forum and gave up. I finally got the right info and I'm free........ Yes I still have the same truck. Have done some upgrades to it. I'll add some pics later. Just good to be back.
