What is the Towing Capacity of a 1995 Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup

Expert Reply:
There are several different towing capacities for a 1995 Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup. These capacities will vary depending on engine size, wheel base, drive type, gear ratio, etc. Therefore, the only true way to tell what your trucks towing capacity is would be to find both the Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) and the Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW). These figures can be located on the information tag inside the drivers door jamb. If you subtract the GVW from the GCWR, that will give you the maximum gross trailer weight (GTW) you can safely tow.
If it turns out that you can tow the trailer, then it is likely that you will be towards the upper end of the scale and may require suspension enhancements to help the vehicle support the added weight. If this is the case then I recommend a set of our ever popular Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System part # TGMRCK25 for 4x4 or part # TGMRC25HD for 2x4. The upgraded springs will help with weight distribution, stability, and body roll.
I have attached both a review video and customer review for you as well.
