Re: [A/S] Tow 34' wide body with 6 liter GMC



Rich,

That trailer weighs 9800 pounds on the road...... the truck you are asking 
about is not rated to tow anywhere near that much.

It will pull it...... but it will be underpowered, under built, under braked 
and you would not be happy.

If you want a GM vehicle to tow that trailer safely look at the 2500HD 
models...with the biggest gas or diesel engine. Sometimes it just makes sense 
to give up economy and this is one of those times. That's my opinion. I have 
a 25' widebody trailer and sold a 5.7 liter Suburban because I didn't think 
it had enough power to  manage the trailer.....
