Dolly Towing a 2020 Chevy Silverado

Hi all

I’m in the middle of deciding what to tow behind my Motorhome.

I’m wondering if anyone has experience pulling a newer model 4wd pickup on a tow dolly? This is what I’m trying to do - I am looking at a tow dolly that has the capacity to tow my 2020 Chev Silverado 1500 4wd.

The reason I want to go this way is that this truck is a work truck that I change out on a routine basis. I am a ~50-60km/yr driver for work so I mile up the trucks pretty quickly. I don’t want to have to reinvest $6,000 every 2 years to convert my truck to dighy towing.

What would I have to do to make this work?

Thanks.

    You need to verify that the truck can be towed and in which format. Many are not towable due to the fact they are full time four wheel drive and do not have neutral in transfer case.
    I would also look into towbar over dolly if the truck can be towed.

    From the FMCA towing guide:
    Only 4 wheel drive vehicles with a 2 speed transfer case that has a neutral and 4 wheel drive low setting can be towed 4 wheels down.

    You might can seeing as how the transfer case has a neutral. I would not trust info from here, consult a dealer and read the owners manual.
