Towing with Silverado 20141500
I am currently towing my Jayco 298 RES Eagle Super lite using a Silverado 2500HD double cab with Vortec engine. I would like to downsize to a 2014 Silverado 1500 crew cab with a 5.3L Eco Tech3 V8 with the regular (not max)tow package and 3.42 rear axle. The tow limit for that configuration is 9,700 lbs. The trailer has a dry weight(with full propane cylinders) of 7,501 lbs with a GVWR of 9,200 lbs. Does anyone have experience with this and will it be safe and properly tow the trailer? I plan to use a Hysky centerline system. Trying to decide between the 5.3L w/ 3.42 and 5.3L with 3.73 axle which has 11,300 max towing but I prefer the 3.42.1.9KViews0likes9Comments
