Towing with a half ton

I did get the upgraded gears. They are 3.42 and I as best I can tell that puts my towing weight at 9500lbs.

Thanks for the reply.

Don't guess at this. Everything you need is in your owners manual (including your max tongue weight), glove box sticker, and in the door (as already discussed). There is a towing chart that lists all the configurations, gears, box size, cab type, and their respective towing capacities. Double check your gears by looking for the RPO code in your glove box. The GU6 code = 3:42 gears.

Also, assuming your towing capacity really is 9500#, don't expect to tow a trailer that heavy. Realistically you'll be looking at 7000# or 7500# max GVWR for your trailer. Towing close to your capacity is doable but a less than pleasant towing experience.
