2017 Chevy 6.0L 15 Passenger van
GCWR 16,000
Van weight is 6,129
I have 900 pounds of passengers.
We'd like to tow a 6,660 pound RV. I did the math and included LOTS of details on extra weight.... pretty much we'd have a spare 1,400 to 1,500 pounds (roughly depending on tank levels) amount till we hit GCWR.
With a WD hitch and sway bar, will this van handle the Trailer well? I'm curious how it will do on grades / mountains.
I've pushed it years back with a Toyota Sienna and came within 300 pounds of GCWR on a small KZ. I didn't like it. White knuckled a bunch in Colorado.
I know my Chevy Express is a different class of vehicle totally for towing. This time 1300-1400 pounds off GCWR.
Looking for tips, suggestions, comments, moral support. LOL :)
Thanks!
