Hello All,
I would like some real numbers from owners of GMC and Chevy 1500 owners with the NHT package. I interested the actual sticker numbers on owners truck pertaining to payload of their rigs. I plan to order a fairly loaded 1500 with the 6.2L and the NHT package and tow package. Not sure if the NHT package automatically gives you the tow package, but I will be setting up the truck for towing. Previous threads of mine from December or last year have us in a 28-32 footer with a gross weight of 7500-9500 Lbs. Upon looking at the trailers at shows and in showrooms, we really like the idea of the smaller bunkhouse trailers. These are around 6500 Lbs. gross with tongue weights around 700 Lbs. I'm hoping to have enough payload in a 1500 with NHT package to tow these trailers. I would like to avoid a 2500 if possible, the truck will be my daily driver. I was wondering if I could get some real numbers from truck owners with the NHT package. My current payload is around 950 Lbs. (that is people, dogs, truck cap and 150 Lbs of travel stuff). Then add 700 Lbs of tongue weight and my working payload is around 1700 Lbs. Would like some input from owners to see if the truck will have enough payload for my needs. The GMC website has a NHT configured truck with a payload north of 2000 Lbs. That would be great but does that truck exist with the options I want. Thanks for any input.
Trailers we are looking at Jayco 25BHS, Keystone Bullet 243 BHS, to name a few, but these are the leaders.
Jim
