Towing with an 06 1500 CCSB Vmax
I am picking up my new 07 Haulmark 24x8.5 enclosed car hauler on Saturday. Is there anything I need to look for or watch out for when towing.
My truck 2006 Silverado 1500 CC 3LT, VortecMax Pack 6.0L, 3.73 with heavy duty trailering package.
Per GM my truck can tow 10,100lbs w/ the 3.73 w/ a GCWR of 15,500
Thanks in advance
Sean

that hitch will help with sway if the trailer is not loaded right. With your long wheel base its not needed. I pull a 28' with my yukon and it does great. Milage drops like a rock though. lol
I have pulled heavy enough loads to bend the reciever part the ball mounts to, and it pulled like a dream.

New tires, wait till those cheap *** p metric tires GM puts on get a load on them. They'll wear out quick and you'll drift all over the road with the weak sidewalls. I'd say tires if your gonna have a car in that trailer to go with the brake controller.
