towing with a 1500 silverado
Before the weight police shoot me my disclaimer is that I can't sleep and am just up doing some research for a buddy. I don't really even have enough info to do much. Just killing some time until I can fall asleep. :D
He wants to go with us on vacation this year. He has an 01 silverado 1500 with the 5.3L. Another buddy of ours said he could borrow his TT. What I need to find out is what TT he actually has. I've seen it but don't remember what it is. It's a 2010 I know and pretty sure 28'.
My question is if it's light enough to be towed by the 1500 how much fun is it going to be towing with it? The guy with the TT also has a 2500 gas burner that I'm sure he would also loan him which is probably what I'd recommend. I just wonder how well the 1500 would do just in case he wanted to use his own truck. I know the engine is capable....it's the brakes and suspension I would wonder about.
