Truck upgrade?
Hi, looking for some advice from the experts, we have a 2021 Chevy 1500 Custom. It’s the 2.4L 4-cylinder turbo. It’s rated to tow 9,300 and we’ve been towing our 5,000lb TT with it. It does ok around ...

Anytime anyone says it can’t weigh much more than XXX lbs I kind of chuckle. I tell everyone to always add 1200-1500 lbs to the dry weight and this will get you very close without actually weighing. I know that section on I90 at the Missouri River. Although not huge it will tax the most non tow setup vehicle there is. A TV that is rated properly will pull that at 65mph without issue. So your 50mph really isn't all that bad. But for towing beyond IL I would want a truck with a V-8 and proper towing gears. Even if you got a V-8 1500 and you got the highest gears (numerically lower) you will be in the same position you are now.
