All you need is cleared streets and a police escort at 4 mph. Easy Peasy.

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?

Towing Capacity is a fictional number since it will almost always run out of payload capacity WAY before getting close to that 9000lbs number. If that is an actual correct number.

I would tow a 9,000 lb travel trailer about 3-5 miles to my house, unhook and take the Silverado down to the nearest Chevy dealer and trade it in on a 2500 or 1 ton Silverado.

I wouldn't consider a 4.3L and a 9000 pound trailer.

Silverado 2500HD? Yes. 1500? not likely.

Tow, yes. Comfortable, No. My 2013 Silverado couldn’t with its 5.3L auto could not. 7200 lb 25’ toy hauler, never out of 4 th gear.
