I have a 2009 Chevy Silverado crew cab 1500 2x4
I'm a little confused on some numbers
1: GVWR 6800
2: Towing Capacity 10,600
I'm looking to buy a travel trailer and just a little confused on which number i should go by, to pick out the correct trailer for my rig.
I know the 80%/20% or 85%/15% rule
as goducks said, your payload capacity is a more important number with a 1/2 ton truck.
and where did you get your two numbers from?
it would help if you posted the specs for your truck: engine size, rear end ratio, cab and bed size, factory tow package or not.
