5000 lbs w/o weight distribution hitch, 12,000 lbs w/ weight distribution hitch. Info is located to the left of hitch on sticker attached there.
Depends on what gears are in the Truck. The 4:10 gears put the capacity at 18000 lbs and the 3:54 gears take it down to 16000 lbs
I have a 5.4 v8 F350 XLT (regular cab long bed) and it has 3:73 gears and I believe the towing capacity is 16,000 pounds.
the most it can tow is 4500-5500 pounds depending on the rear end gears.
how do you take differential gears out from a 2000 Chevy suburban
I'm no expert, but I have the same truck. I think It depends on what your gears are 4.10 or 3.42. This Information can be found in your glove box mixed in with of those codes on a sticker in there. If you have a GU6, this means you have 3.42 gears. If you have a GT5 then you have 4.10 gears. The owners manual says 3.42 gears can pull 7400lbs and 4.10 gears can pull 8400lbs. You should double check this information with your dealer before towing, but looking around on the internet that's what I've determined.
I have a 2001 Yukon 1500 with towing capacity between 8000-9000 pounds which is of course (4- 4&1/2 tons). In 2007 I took my Yukon and towed a car trailer with a 3300 pound car aboard also loaded down with moving boxes, furniture etc... packed all around it completely filling the entire car tow trailer for an approximate total weight of more than 7000 pounds down the ALCAN Highway, from Anchorage, Alaska through Canada's raw highways and the on down Interstate 5 through mountain ranges all the way down to Los Angeles with no problems. It was a fun trip and it gave me no worries along the way.
The best place to look would be in the owner's manual. But if you do not have a manual keep reading. The towing capacity of a vehicle is dependent on a few factors. The first is the suspension system, the second is the vehicle weight, the third is the drivetrain capability (engine power, transmission strength, axle gera ratio and strength). A stiffer suspension will allow more tongue weight while stlil providing safe handling characteristics, a heavier vehicle will resist forces from the trailer. A stronger drivetrain can provide and handle more power. If any of these items are worn-out or compromised, your safe towing capacity is also effected. Do not confuse "payload" (what a truck can haul in its bed) with towing capacity. The term "half-ton" truck refers to payload. (In the old days a "half-ton" truck could hold half a ton (1000 pounds) in its bed, today's half-ton trucks can hold much more.)Although a truck with a higher payload capacity will probably have a higher towing capacity, do not think a half-ton truck can only tow 1000 pounds. Many modern half ton trucks are rated to tow between 7,500 and 10,000 pounds. I own a 1990, 1500 Chevy Suburban with a 3.73 differential and it is rated to tow approximately 9200 lbs. I probably would never go above 9000 to be safe. Remember to always tow in DRIVE. NEVER TOW IN OVERDRIVE. The Chevy Truck/Suburban manuals from 1985-1990 tell you to pull in Overdrive but that is false. I have an 89 Suburban 2500 (3/4 ton) with 4.10 gears. It is also rated to tow around 9000 punds.
3.73
It has a chain and gears. NO BELT
The most common answer is never tow over what your vehicle weight is, (GVW) Or ur over weight, truck unable to pull the weight and Brakes won't stop the vehicle. The 1500 is 1/2 ton....period. "half-ton" and "quarter-ton" are old designations that refer to payload capacity (how much you can haul in the bed of the truck) and not Towing capacity (how much you can safely tow). Your towing capacity should be listed in your owners manual and will be dependant on your suspension, transmisison, brakes and rear axle ratio. Towing capacity is always greater than payload capacity, I believe the weakest setups from dodge in the 90s (318 with short rear axle gears) could still tow 5500 pounds. But check your ownders manual to be safe.
It does NOT have a timing belt, That engine has a timing chain and gears.
Short answer. You can't.Towing capacity is set by the manufacturer, and no after market gizmo can change those numbers. There are too many factors. Power is only one. Braking, overheating of engine and transmission, rear end, transfer case, (4x4 only) tires, wheels, CD Player. (not really, I made that one up.) But you get the idea.Many after market companies will give the illusion of increasing towing capacity, but they cannot.Sorry.
