2000 silverado cargo carrying capacity
My last truck, which I sold about a year ago, was a 2000 Silverado LS extended cab, 6.5' bed with 4th door, 2WD with 5.3L V8 and tow package. Does anyone know the cargo carrying capacity and tow capa...

Ok so my old 2000 1/2 5.3 with 3:42 gears and ext cab pulled around 7 k of small fifth wheel fine. I mean the pin was around 1000lbs and it never pointed the lights into the sky or anything. It had 285 hp and I think 325 tq. It loved to rev to 4 K on any hill while pulling that load. The was one time we ended up in a bad 2 lane mountain road and I had it floored I mean pushed down as hard as possible just to keep 20 mph. But again it was a really steep twisting road so nobody was going fast...otherwise I had no issues towing anywhere. Btw that mountain road was not meant for any campers... Our map was incorrect so it was very exciting..... Anyway so the truck had no issues when I sold it to my best friend with about 160k on the clock. Good truck got 22 hwy empty and 16-18 city empty. Read my previous post to find payload. Pulling 7k was easy in Florida and not an issue on the interstate through Georgia while pulling.
