Can I tow my new camper safely
I just bought a new camper with a UVW of 8130# towing with a 2008 chevy 1500 4x4 w/5.3L motor and 3.73 gears. Do you think I will be all right towing this?

You are really pushing that truck, when you load that camper your going to be over wight for sure. That truck has a 4 speed, rated towing capacity for that is 6,700 pounds(because of 4 speed), So your going to have to get a bigger truck, maybe a 3/4 ton gas, because that 1500 is not going to do it, or hope the truck can handle it (not safe) and hope you don't get caught 2,000 pounds over wight ($500-$2,500 fine).
