How much weight can the 4.3L V6 Vortec engine pull with a hitch? What is ideal, a loaded u-haul 6' x 12' Trailer?

You moving across country? ;-)

I had this information, let me see if I can find it tonight. Someone else probably knows.

Ok thanks. I feel stupid for asking, but it is an important question. I'll hook up a U-haul trailer to my truck when I move off to College from AZ to OK. Nice RV Dan :great:
