I just looked at 2020 Silverado 1500, I think, in a parking nearby and, what do you know, I did not see a label on the hitch.
I again reread 2020-chevrolet-silverado-owners-manual.pdf
Page 291:
"The Maximum Trailer Tongue Weight Rating for a conventional trailer hitch is shown on the Trailering Information Label. Do not exceed a maximum trailer tongue weight of 567 kg (1,250 lb) for a conventional trailer hitch."
No Comment on that number.
Page 293:
"Many trailers can be towed using a weight-carrying hitch....
Other trailers may require a weight-distributing hitch...."
Page 294:
Weight-Distributing Hitch Usage - 2500/3500 "Not Required"
Then Page 295 has how to use a weight distribution hitch by measuring and adjusting the height of the front and rear wheel wells.
I am starting to get used to how they are doing things now.
Thanks
