  • Towing Capacity of 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 Crew Cab 4x4 with 5.3-liter V8 Engine
  • The best place to confirm the towing capacity of your 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 Crew Cab 4x4 with 5.3-liter V8 engine is the printed owner's manual. This will reflect the capacity of your specific pickup with the particular mix of equipment installed on it at the factory, including the 3.42 differential. I reviewed the online trailering guide on the Chevrolet website and at most a properly-equipped 1500 can tow 12,000-lbs. But your 5.3L V8 crew cab 4x4 with 3.42 differential is shown as...

  • Draw Tite Front Hitch Ground Clearance on 2019 Chevy Silverado Trail Boss
  • While I can't get you the exact dimension I can help you easily determine it by taking a couple quick measurements. If you measure 8.5 inches from the lower lip fascia on the front of your 2019 Chevy Silverado Trail Boss up and out you'll know exactly where the hitch opening of the # 65082 will be and from there you can measure straight down to the ground to get the ground clearance. See attached picture.

  • What Is the Minimum Height of the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack
  • I checked with Thule but they do not provide any sort of lowest height setting for the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # TH500XT. The reason for this is because there are not any stops so the crossbars will go as low as the bed depth will allow. This would also depend on where exactly the uprights were positioned. I do however have the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # Y01151-59 which is a very similar option and this does have...

  • Is There a Minimum Panel Thickness When Installing Mounting Panel for Redarc Tow-Pro
  • Standard interior panel thicknesses will work great with the Mounting Panel for Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller Control Knob # 331-TPSI-003. The panel you are planning to install this on I am sure is totally fine since it was designed for holding the integrated controller of the 2015 Chevy Silverado. We had a customer come back and send us a picture of this used on a similar 2014 GMC Sierra and they said it fit and worked well. I attached a photo. Redarc does not have a minimum...

  • Where to Find Rating of a Trailer Hitch Receiver
  • A hitch will always have an ID sticker on it listing its capacities for standard towing and towing when used with weight distribution, even an OEM hitch should have this information on it somewhere, perhaps on the back of the hitch crossbar. The aftermarket hitches we offer for the 2020 Silverado 1500 are Class III and IV. The class III hitches like # DT42RR have a towing capacity of around 6000 lbs or 10000 lbs if used with weight distribution. The class IV hitches such as # C13393 have...

  • Measurements Along Frame of RV Where ProPride 3P Weight Distribution Hitch Attaches
  • I checked out pictures of your Grand Design Imagine 2670MK and it appears the Pro Ride Weight Distribution system part # PR97QR would fit pretty easily but there's a couple measurements you can take to know for sure. The U-bolts attach to the trailer frame at 22 inches from the center of the ball coupler back give or take 1/2 inch and the weight distribution jacks install 26 inches back from ball center give or take 1-1/2 inches. We have found that works pretty well with most trailer setups...

  • The Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC - Carbide Finish # C16400-204 will give you the industry standard rail spacing to fit most 5th wheel hitches.

  • Selecting WD Hitch for Travel Trailer Towed by GMC Sierra 1500 Crew Cab
  • We recommend towing a travel trailer with a weight distribution hitch (WDH) when the trailer weighs more than half of the tow vehicle's weight. The hitch evens out the trailer tongue weight (TW) load across both truck axles and it also works to control or prevent trailer sway. The linked article and video will give you good background on these systems. The way to select a WD system is to determine the actual loaded trailer TW, with all of your usual gear and supplies in place and with...

What brand is the coupler you have now because the 1 inch dimension is the most common for 2 inch ball couplers that fit a 3 inch wide tongue.

  • Replacement T-Bolts And 2-Wing Knob For VW Jetta Sportwagen
