Class C and towing.

You must have alot of towing experience to form this opinion so strongly......Makes me wonder why you have to ask the audience then.
Personally I would have zero issue flat towing a half ton truck with a 4500chassis with a 6 liter.
May pull from your quiver of weapons against the hubby (poor guy) that a flat or dolly tow will add almost zero tongue weight, so while it may be a bit above the "rated" tow rating, any class 3 or better hitch will flat tow a pickup just fine.
Yes you may have to yank the driveshaft or whatever. Depends on the vehicle.

Or he could send you home on a plane and tow it by himself....

Why not one of you drive the C and the other drive the PU, problem solved.

You would be better off with a Ford E450 based Class C that has the V10 and 7500 lb tow rating. The GM is overloaded.

Read the owners manual for the Silverador, under recreational or towing behind a MH, if it says no, question answered.
I would believe NADA that the actual weight of the Silverado is over 5000lbs, our 4cyl CRV weighs over 3500lbs, no way the truck is only 4000lbs.

If it is towable 4 down, with or without modifications, I would be more worried about the handling and braking of the MH, than the MHs engine and transmission. One unplanned emergency maneuver or braking event.?? nobody every cuts off or pulls out in front of a MH.

NADA says truck weighs 5245. Maybe that will convince him it's a bad idea.

have your husband tow the untowable truck and we can start a pool here as to the miles before the tranny blows up, an over/under I will take 1,000 miles

I believe the motor home has a 6.0L motor.

I do not believe your pick up can be towed four down. You could pull the drive shaft and should be OK.
You do not say what motor is in the MH. If it is a small block 6.0, it can handle it, but be careful on hills. Take your time and not try to do speed limit.
"Stiff hitch"? you must mean four down with tow bar?

is the truck towable 4 down? what does the owner's manual say? if the truck is actually 4,000 lbs. it will be a load on that RV. my "adjustable tow bar" is rated for 10,000 lbs. so don't cheap out on the towbar.
