I looked it up in the the manual for by 1998 Chevy Express 3500. You need to know your engine size and rear axle ratio


Model - Engine Axle - Ratio Max - Trailer Weight(lbs)


1500 - 4.3L - 3.42 - 4000
1500 - 4.3L - 3.73 - 4500
1500 - 5.0L - 3.42 - 5000
1500 - 5.7L - 3.42 - 5500
1500 - 5.7L - 3.73 - 6500
2500 - 4.3L - 3.42 - 4000
2500 - 4.3L - 4.10 - 4000
2500 - 5.0L - 3.42 - 5500
2500 - 5.7L - 3.42 - 5500
2500 - 5.7L - 3.73 - 5500
2500 - 5.7L - 4.10 - 7000
3500 - 5.7L - 3.73 - 5500
3500 - 5.7L - 4.10 - 7000
3500 - 6.5L - 3.73 - 6000
3500 - 6.5L - 4.10 - 7500
3500 - 7.4L - 3.42 - 6500
3500 - 7.4L - 3.73 - 8000
3500 - 7.4L - 4.10 - 10000

Don't forget pulling is one factor, stopping is more important. If you are towing over 4000lbs, you must have electric brakes on the trailer.

This answer is irrelevant because he looked up a 1 ton 3500, not a half ton 1500.
