pulling a 29ft travel trailer with a 2010 avalanche??

I have 2010 Chevy Avalanche with the towing package .I bought a 29ft travel trailer its dry weight is 5500 lbs . I was wondering if this trailer would be to have to pull with my avalanche ? Im looking for opinions Thanks
  • You will be just fine just don't load the bed with a bunch of gear put in all in the trailer as payload will be your only concern.
  • We have a 2012 Avalanche. We pull a 27QBSS, one long slide, actual 31'8". Dry weight 4201 GVWR 5993. We have no issues pulling. We also pull our 20' princecraft boat behind the trailer sometimes. We have a good weight distribution bars Enjoy!
  • The dry weight is probably low, and if you have a 1/2 ton that is a fairly soft suspension for such a long trailer. It would handle fine under normal circumstances, but have an emergency stop or drive on crappy roads and the 1/2 ton isn't enough in IMHO.
  • Your more than ok and a good set of weight distribution bars will help keep everything nice and level.
  • Since you are from the "Dena" the answer is yes . What you need to do is see what the towing capacity is for the truck . What motor you have , etc . But I dont see you having a problem .
