Default Towing

I have a 2007 silverado reg cab short bed V6 3:23 rear end and im looking at buying two jet skis on a double trailer. My question is do i need a towing package or would it be ok to haul off my bumper until i get a tow package on my truck?

Best to get a hitch and a transmission cooler. Trying to pull 2 wet jet ski's and a trailer up a boat ramp is going to put a major strain on only a bumper hitch. I would recommend a tow package first.

I've seen alot of stupid things myself, but that does'nt make it safe or good for your truck. Just my 2 cents worth.
