V6 Silverados
Can the new Chevy Silverados with the 4.3L V6 really how over 9000 pounds? Anyone with practical experience in one case to arrest to that?

I was going off the vin number lookup function in the camping world towing guide (https://rv.campingworld.com/towguide) For example, vin # 1GCRWBEH3MZ116570 is a 2021 Silverado 1500 Custom with the 4.3L V6. Enter that vin and it returns a tow limit of 9700. If you enter vin 1GCUYDED1MZ106911 which is a 2021 Silverado LT with the 5.3L V8, it returns 9000 or 9100 depending on bed length. Reason I'm asking is the price difference is HUGE.
The tow guide is incorrect. The V6 highest tow rating is 7900. That is a regular cab truck. 7400 lbs for the crew and double cab.
Also, the custom trim is much cheaper than the LT. Make sure you check out the custom to ensure it meets your needs. The LT comes with options that I definitely want in my truck.
