Silverado 1500 & Travel Trailer

Here are some pics, I hope this helps...

2009 Chevy Silverado Crew Cab 1500 2WD Short Box
vin # 2GCEC23J491105686

my glove box info tells me = GU6 which is a 3.42 & a K5L which is a HD Cooling package?

So it looks like (if i'm correct) I have the 5.3L V8 K5L HD Cooling Pkg..
Which gives me (according to the manual):
3.42 Axle Ratio
9,600 lbs Maximum Trailer Weight
15,000 lbs GCWR

Tongue Weight according to the manual on page 4-63:

The trailer tongue weight should be 10 percent to 15 percent of the total loaded trailer weight, up to a maximum 600 lbs (272 kg) for the 1500 or 2500 series with a "weight carrying hitch".

The trailer tongue weight should be 10 percent to 15 percent of the total loaded trailer weight, up to a maximum of 1,000 lbs (453 kg) for the 1500 series and up to a maximum of 1,500 lbs (680 kg) for the 2500, 2500 HD or 3500 series with a "weight distributing hitch".


Thanks for the help guys...
