Any Experiences towing with V6 2WD Silverado ?

Yeah, and who wants to travel long distances with the engine screaming at 3900RPM?

Most people freak out if the engine's turning over 2000.

The torque curve on that V6 is very steep/peaky as I recall, meaning it doesn't make much torque until it gets in the higher RPM ranges. You won't be loping along at 1900RPM on the flat ground. It'll be more like 2800.

My V-10 manual transmission truck runs 3200 RPM at 75 mph where the engine makes the most power. It's a lot harder on a engine to lug it at lower rpm then to let it work when towing. 170k miles on that truck and runs very well.
