What is the GVW that this truck can safely tow?

Welcome to the forum.
We always have some members who don't know what a '00-'06 1500HD GM truck actually is...and those who think a 1500 truck can't tow a 5th wheel trailer.

You have a much sought after 1500 truck that was and still is very popular with folks looking for a 1500 truck with the most tow and carrying capacity. This is it.

Gm says 8000 lb range with the 3.73 axle and 10000 lb range with the 4.10 gears. The 1500HD I've seen are the old 2500 GM truck C6P chassis before the 2500HD came out.
My neighbors has a '05 1500HD 6.0 engine with the 4L80 tranny with the full floater 10.5" gears eight lug wheels and E tires. The 6.0 is thirsty but does her a good job with her 29' and a 35' horse trailers
Payloads ran up to 3100 lbs on certain trucks.

Weigh the trucks front and rear axles separately. Don't exceed the trucks rear axle/tire load numbers. Your '02 is older so I would stick with GM 8k and 10k tow ratings.
