Chevy Silverado is a 2500HD. What I want to know is how the manufacturers get away with this? How many people are out there towing way beyond their limit. So, GVWR of the trailer, that is what we go by? In reading the Trailer Life Towing Guide for fivers, it got so confusing with all the weight abbreviations. We went with the Gross Combined Vehicle Weight. Added truck, trailer, people, dog, cargo (weighed a lot of this to get a good #), fuel, hitch, etc. We are getting ready to look at a Crossroads Cruiser Aire 28SLE (think that is he right model). Stamped weight on vehicle (not brochure) is around 8200. Guessing we need to add couple hundred xtra. Not sure what GVWR is, will check.
Thanks, appreciate any and all info we can get!
