tongue weight
We recently bought a 28' tt ( private party )and we are towing it with a chevy Silverado 1500. I'm trying to decide which wdh to buy to tow my trailer and everyone I look at is asking me what the ton...

ok, got some numbers for you. As far as the gear ratio, they didn't tell me which one my Silverado has, they just told me that I'm rated for 9200. Now I just went out to the truck and looked at the hitch receiver and there was two sets of #'s,
Hitch type/ max trailer weight/ max tongue weight
-------------------------------------------------
weight / /
carrying / 5,000 lbs / 600 lbs.

weight / /
distributing / 10,500 lbs. / 1,100 lbs
Sorry, tried to make it as it appeared on the truck. So, if I'm reading this right, The hitch receiver can handle 1100 lbs with a wdh and 600 lbs without a wdh(tongue weight), is that correct or am I reading this wrong? Oh and to answer a earlier question. The truck is a 2008 LT, V8 5.3L, w/4 wheel drive, Crew cab, short bed. Again, thank you everyone for your help.
