Chev/GMC recommends a maximum of 6500 lbs trailer weight although there is much more to it than this. This reccomendation is only a guidline. If you are going to pull more than this on a regular basis, you will greatly shorten the life of the truck. If you are talking about pulling a holiday trailer a few times a year, you can exceed this as long as you meet some requirements. Inside the driver's door there will be a sticker with a GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) number and GAWR(Gross Axle Weight Rating) . It is illegal to exceed either of these weights. GVWR - add the weight of the truck, passengers, fuel, cargo in or on the truck AND the hitch weight the trailer is placing on the truck and DON'T EXCEED THE GVWR weight. A N D - now you will have to scale (weigh) the axles of the truck to make sure that you are not over the GAWR of either the front or rear axle weight limits.
