With next to no information how can we give you any sort of answer?
Forgive me...I'm new at this. I meant to say 1500 and it is a 6.0.
JimandLynn,
Based on multiple threads on this subject, I'd say you can. But, here's the important info for you to find out and know, BEFORE you make a commitment to that truck. The GMCs and Chevys, as in 1500 series 4x4s with automatics and, electronic shift transfer cases, were pretty simple to setup for towing. We have an '11 GMC Sierra, 1500 4x4 Extended Cab and, all that's needed to be done, prior to towing it down the road is,
1. Park
2. Parking brake set
3. Foot on the brakes
4. Shift the transfer case to "N" by turning the shift knob all the way to the right until the "N" appears on the face of the knob.
5. Release parking brake
6. Remove Key.
7. Done
Now, I only tell you this because, as I understand it, the major change to the operation in the 2014 GMC and Chevy is, you now have to DISCONNECT THE BATTERY of the truck, after you've done all the prep, listed above.
To many, that's a pain in the a$$. It would be to me too. So, just for your satisfaction and knowledge, while you're shopping for this new Chevy 1500 truck, get ahold of the owners manual and find for yourself, the EXACT INSTRUCTIONS for flat towing, behind a motor home. DO NOT DEPEND ON ANY SALESMAN OR WOMAN, for accurate info on this subject. The owners manual is the only real, document that you can depend on here. Good luck.
