Re: Towing with a short wheel base
I tow regularly with my 84 short bed, to include a few cars, and it handles it fine. There is a difference in stability compared to using my Cummins Burb but nothing alarming and I drive a little slower and utilize a quality trailer brake controller.
However, I don’t like to tow more than about 7000lbs behind it as I don’t know GM’s factory rating (aftermarket hitch is rated to 10k) and the 6.2 isn’t quite the powerhouse my Cummins is.
