To determine if your 2021 GMC Sierra 3500 AT4 can pull a 2019 Fuzion 353 you'll need to determine your max towing capacity:
1. Check the owner's manual or towing label for the GCWR, or Gross Combined Weight Rating. Your max GCWR is the maximum fully loaded weight of your vehicle and trailer combined. This includes passengers, cargo, fuel, etc. If it's going in your vehicle or trailer, it counts toward the GCWR.
2. Find your GVWR, or Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. This is the maximum weight of your fully loaded vehicle. Check the driver's side door jamb for the sticker with your GVWR listed.
3. Find your maximum loaded trailer weight by subtracting the GVWR from the GCWR. Whatever is left is the weight of the heaviest loaded trailer you can tow.
As for the hitch, the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 25,000lbs Item # BWRVK3715 will drop right into your factory puck system for a super easy installation. The Companion OEM features a dual jaw for excellent jaw-to-king-pin contact and a cam-action handle for simple release. I've attached an installation video where Connor will show you just how easy it is to install this hitch.
