Hi guys- any help is appreciated:
I own an 04 1500 4WD Burb, 5.3 V8 w/trailer tow pkg, 3.73 gears, oil & trans coolers. Owners manual states towing capability of 7500 lbs. We're looking to upgrade travel trailers and are looking at a 30ft. trailer that has a dry weight of 7135 lbs. My gut tells me not to consider it because the dry weight is too close to the Burb's max capability; guys who are "in the know" (have towed for years) tell me not to worry because the Burb will pull that trailer just fine. I want to get the most trailer I can but I don't want the trans to explode as I'm going down the road either. Any suggestions?
