Hey gang. New to the site, and surprisingly for being Canadian, new to RV'ing. Just buying a 2007 Jayco JayFeather 29D. GVW is 7050 lbs. My question for you experienced towers is this: I have a 2006 Chev Avalanche (don't judge me, normally I'm a Ford guy), it is the 5.3 V8 1500 and I am almost certain the gear ratio is the 4.10. What can you tell me about using this truck to pull my about to purchase 29' featherlight TT? Thanks for your wisdom!
Towed 30,000 miles with as 1/2, my 5th 27 ft. lite was 5000 lbs, with 1200 pin weight. I tow all of the Rocky's many times. a 4.10 would help, but your rear spring are not that heavy.
You won't be happy. Buy a 3/4 or get under 25 ft. trailer or 5th wheel.
