Looking for Light Trailer Recommendations
Sold our diesel pusher last May, but doggone it, we're now realizing how much we miss getting out. But in order to keep life simpler and less expensive, we are looking at TTs. I have a 2014 Silverado...

Looking at GM online ordering specs http://www.gmfleetorderguide.com/ shows a 12000 lb GCWR. Truck manufactures use their own GCWR figures instead of adding truck and trailer GVWRs like dot does.
Use the weights calculator in GMs online ordering guide clicky. It gives the trucks actual trucks gross and front and rear axle weights with all options/packages chosen and it gives the actual tow rating for that package.
Some folks are still hung up with the '90 truck specs especially with the higher drive ratios with the new 6 speed trannies. The 3.08 with the new 6L80 has gear splits similar to the old 4L60E and 3.73 gears. The truck will handle 6800 lb just fine.
There are dozens of trailer mfg out here. Some sell nationally and some more local and some have different models sold in the east or west.
Use this handy website http://changingears.com/rv-sec-manufacturers-type-fw.shtml for searching mfg of TT brands and models in your area.
