silverado 1/2 ton with 5.7L V8

Does anyone pull a 20 foot trailer with the subject truck? If so, I would love to hear how the truck handles the load.

    How far did you pull your 30ft trailer on most trips.
  • I don't have the truck yet but Im looking at a brand new 2016 2wd subject truck with crew cab and a 5.(something)L V8 and wondering if anyone pulls a 20 ft travel trailer with it.

    AFAIK GM doesn't offer a 5.7L engine but rather as standard a 5.3L. That said, one would have to know far more about the particular truck you're talking about - model, year, body style, 2wd or 4wd, transmission, axle ratio, etc to be able to intelligently discuss it's towing capabilities.


    5.7 liter is the most famous Chevy v8 of all time commonly called the 350 small block !!!!!
