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?

If they gave out tickets for over weight, most firewood getters would be ticketed. Around here it would be like a cop parking outside a bar waiting for a drunk to get in his car. There almost all over weight.
This is the 3/4 ton sqatting capital of the world.:B
Most forget. The troopers don't carry a list of what EACH vehicle can tow, or carry. The manufacturer ratings are not law, but warranty information for their customers. The Speed cops, go by their state DOT road, and bridge laws, and the Fed laws. Which are much different.
I can't load my truck to be over weight by the national, and state law. 20,000lb on each axle would crush it.
