Re: Question about towing??
The only problem is the dealer is over an hour away from where I live. I suppose I could bring my tools and install the hitch up there or just white knuckle it Home then order a hitch. I work on my own vehicles and can turn a wrench so I’m sure I could figure it out. Just strange to me because I tow a 7000lbs dump trailer (loaded) and have never had an issue. I hate paying people to do something I’m more than capable of, but I’ll probably just keep the boss happy and have the stealership do it.605Views0likes0CommentsQuestion about towing??
My girlfriend and I decided to upgrade from tenting to a hybrid travel trailer. I have a 2017 Silverado 1500 rated to tow just under 10000lbs conventional with a class 5 hitch and a tongue weight up to 1200. The travel trailer only weighs 2700 lbs and 16ft long. The dealer is claiming I need a weight distributing hitch. I’ve had a lot heavier trailers on my truck with very little squat. Do I really need that hitch? Or is a regular ball sufficient? Will I notice a lot of trailer sway without it? Dealer states I need to sign a waiver without it. Thank you for any help. Trailer is a k-z sportsmen 160rbt.4.6KViews0likes31Comments
