What is the towing capacity of a 2005 silverado 1500 extended cab 4.8 V8?

Answer 1

I too want to know this, my manual states that it can tow a trailer of 6000 lbs with the 3.23 which is the lower gear ratio. My concern is that there is a website someone stated somewhere in a forum that puts it at only 4100 lbs towing cap. That scares me since my travel trailer weighs in at 3795 lbs dry weight. When I bought it I thought I would have plenty of room left over. If its true that it pulls only 4100 lbs I am not liking it. I have pulled it on the hills of west Austin and it pulls good, but on the big hills it does get a little exaggerated. I still have not pulled it very far and plan a trip to the coast, 4 hours, Hope all goes well. I added the helper springs from Hellwig and that helped on the ride tremendously.
