Conversion van - max towing capacity?
I would like a conversion van. I've had a Chevy Express 1500 for 10 years and being very tall - it works for me. It's been really hard to determine what the max towing ability is. I'm willing to custom order a 3500 chassis with minimum trim (4 captains chairs, no couch..etc)
What can I expect for a tow rating for a gas engine?
The 2014 tow ratings claim the Express 3500 short wheel base with a 6.0 V-8 will tow 10,000 if a cargo van and 9700 if a passenger van. The conversion companies do not seem to commit to a tow rating.
Which is the conversion van based on?
Will that increase if I remove all but two front seats?
Has anyone done this recently?
TIA!
Brian
