can my chevy express g1500 pull my camper ?
My 2001 chevy express g1500 has a v8 5.8L and can pull up to 6600 lbs according to manual. My camper is a 1998 Forest River Wildwood 24fb and weighs 4500 lbs and a tongue weight of 410. I feel I am pushing it at the tongue weight but feel like a stabilizer bar would help.
See my van specs below please and let me know what you think, thanks.
