Newbie Tow Capacity Question
Hello All, Looking into getting a travel trailer but not completely understanding the weight ratings and how they compare to the tow vehicle's capacity. I've got a 2015 Silverado 1500 double cab...

I've got a 2015 Silverado 1500 double cab 4x4 with the V6... everything I read seems to point to 7200 lbs tow capacity.
That sounds more like the trucks GVWR? Is that what you are seeing on the door jamb stickers? There should be a yellow sticker with a weight amount that states how much you can actually load into the truck.
Regardless, I would say towing a full size TT with a non turbo V-6 engine is not going to be much fun if you get something that is anywhere close to it's "max towing rating"...
If you do, then make sure you are comfortable with flooring the gas pedal often and pulling some pretty high rpms to keep it rolling with that kind of load.
Only you'll know what your comfort level is when towing, so if you can try some lighter loads first, just to get a feel for your truck, that might help??
Good luck! Mitch
