2003, so a GMT800 platform and that POS receiver
Minimum is to change out the OEM receiver if it hasn't been yet. About
$200 bucks for a traditional designed receiver and about 1 hours labor
Read this thread over at the TV section of this portal:
Door sticker says never exceed 1263 lbs of cargo/passengersGo out and weigh your Sub fully loaded ready to go camping and then
do the simple math to figure out your 'true' MTWR
You have a small block, so it won't weigh as much as my GMT400 & 7.4L,
but the Quadrasteer will weigh more than my rear axle
Mine has a published MTWR of 10,000 and GCWR of 16,000, but my Sub
actually weighs in around 7,200. So 16,000 - 7,200 = 8,800 lb MTWR,
not the published 10,000 MTWR....similar issue to your published 9,300 MTWR
Also, if you are going deep and tough terrain...note to disconnect the
WD Hitch system. They do NOT like the angles that will be imparted
on them and they might break...the OEM receiver will FOR SURE break
no matter WD or not out there
The trailer lengths you are contemplating are whales (as are any Sub)
out there in the boonies. So a limiting factor. I can't make it to
my secret place up in the Idaho Panhandle Wilderness with the Sub.
The Quadrasteer has a weakness out there in the boonies...and is the
steering tie rod on the back side of the axle assembly. If you back up
and hit something...they are known to bend to mess up the rear axle's steering.
