one thing this forum provides for you is a tow rating guide. if you log into trailer life web site and look around you will find the tow rating guide for trucks for many years and just find your vehicle and it will tell you what you need to know. welcome to the forum, hurry back if you need any thing else.
Ok, according to that chart, the tow rate is 4400 lbs. The camper we are looking at says "Gross Vehicle Wt Rating (GVWR) 3,750 lbs" so I guess that is where I'm confused about if the camper is less than the tow rate, but we still can't pull it? Please help me to understand.
Thanks
no, you can't tow it because you don't have the factory tow package. that 4400lbs. towing capacity is, as i said, IF you have the factory tow package.
as tatest said, without it, it's probably only rated for 2000-2500lbs.
you would need to totally duplicate the factory tow package to get that 4400lbs. towing capacity. plus that's rated with only a 150lb. driver in the truck. anything else in the truck, lowers that number.
