07 Silverado

Anybody towing with a 07 Silverado LT Z71 2wd crew cab 1500 5.3l V8 rear axle ratio 3.42. If so what are you towing and what is the UVW?

    So do you tow with one? That's what the OP was asking. Read his post again.
  • Had an 05 with the same drive train but 4 spd tranny and 4X4 and towed the same TT I do now. It's about 5K ready to go scale weight with a little water. Towed it over the Rockies aeveral times without a problem. You have a 6 speed trans like my 2011 (I think) which is even better for towing. You should be able to tow a light TT in the 20-27 ft range without problems.
