I trailer roughly 4800 lbs. 5 days a week during the mowing season.
Absolutely love this truck.
Lol never checked but your prob right. My kids avalanche. Blew his rear end out.Gary,
That's prolly the heaviest load I've seen pulled. Thanks for posting. Funny thing is you probably got better mpg towing that avalanche than the avalanche gets on its own just driving.
Ouch at least that ten bolt rear end is a dime a dozen at the pull-a-part. Every 1500 truck even made has one I think. Don't ever worry about fixing it just find and swap one with the right ratio. Z71 donors will have the rear locker too. Glovebox sticker will tell you which rear end gear it is and if it has a locker.Lol never checked but your prob right. My kids avalanche.

Yeah easy fix. We had a spare. We used to do a lot of offroading. Wheel it break it fix it and repeat. Lol. Keeping this pick up on asphalt. Thats the plan as of right now.Ouch at least that ten bolt rear end is a dime a dozen at the pull-a-part. Every 1500 truck even made has one I think.

Edit: avalanche is a coil spring rear? Look for Tahoe and suburban rear end. H2 rear end is an upgrade (12 bolt) but some fabbing required
The car haulers arent effected by wind gusts like a travel trailer will be, but the truck will pull the weigh no prob.Good info. Shopping for travel travel trailer. Sounds like I won't have a problem with 5800 lbs.
If your going any distance a torsion bar would be a huge asset. Wind against the side of a big trailer can get wonky. My 2cents.Good point. Tongue weight on this trailer is on the heavy side 925 lbs. I'll only pull with a weight distribution hitch, but considering adding Hellwig helper springs. Thoughts?
Cataula, I can't confirm if it's 900lb, but the truck handles lots of tongue weight without issue. I have the add a leafs, but i squat about an inch. It squatted about two inches on stock leafs before the added springs.Good point. Tongue weight on this trailer is on the heavy side 925 lbs.
