I've towed FAR too much weight with my little SWB, though nothing for very long. Once was a large trailer for a friend. The trailer had control of the truck not vise versa.

The longer the wheel base the better the tow. To me a C10 is a "sport truck". Doesn't mean you can't tow with it. In fact, the original owner of my SWB figured the truck was all things recreational, from a boat launching hitch to saddle tanks to a 5th wheel to a receiver hitch on a step bumper.

Anymore, I error on the side of caution when towing. I wouldn't pull more than 4Kish with a SWB, if that. You might check the gross tow ratings for our trucks. I imagine that can be found in the user manual.

Speak of weight distributions, I can tell you EXACTLY what not to do, and the pain is INTENSE. I can also tell you exactly how to mount and dismount. It would have been nice to know beforehand..............YIKES!
