Could Chevy Silverado with 5.3 Liter V8 Tow 2005 Buick Rainier
Question:
Can a Chevy Silverado 5L I think 8 cylinder 2WD truck tow a 2005 Buick Rainer SUV all wheel drive? The truck is equipped with electric brakes. I would appreciate any information you give me. Thank you

I looked up the weight of the 2005 Buick Rainier and found that it at most weighs 4,600 lbs which is probably enough for the towing capacity of your Chevy Silverado but I am not totally sure what truck you have so it's hard to verify. I looked up a 2012 Silverado with the 5.3 liter and it looks to have a capacity of 7,400 lbs.
We don't have flat towing components that fit the Ranier so you'd have to look into a tow dolly setup like the Roadmaster part # RM-2050-1.
