  1. So, I think we are looking at getting a bigger tv. My husband just doesn't think we are going to be happy with a really small trailer, He wants a king size bed. Is a 2500 silverado going to do the trick easy enough? Do I have to worry about the Axle ratio on these trucks? Most of them are 6.6L Turbo diesel and have a 6.6 foot bed but I see different axle ratios.
  2. I have learned so darn much from you all!
  3. I would love a lance trailer but no one in my area carries them, It seems that you need to handle any warranty type stuff with the dealer you bought your rv from? Is that the case? That keeps me from going out of my area to buy one.
  4. Good info on the tires too, That's another thing i was worried about. The truck does have a built in transmission cooler and heavy duty shocks.
  5. Thanks so much both of you. I LOVE this truck and didn't want to buy bigger. 2 adults and 2 dogs, One is a 100 lb shepherd, I think I go with a smaller trailer. Im in Nebraska btw so the weather can change on a dime. My husband is really hoping that I can move the trailer around where we are going by myself, and he can then join us, and while Ive driven bigger SUV vehicles I have never towed anything more than a jet ski that he hooked up for me. I'm an independent gal who wants to be sure I know how all this works and that I do it right. I made the mistake of buying a truck first just to pull a trailer, should have done it the other way around, Right? If I end up loving it, I can get a bigger truck and trailer. Ken- I love that you have a standard schnauzer! fabulous dogs! Joy
  6. Thank You both! my sticker in the truck says 1397 lbs max payload. The window sticker says it has a GVW rating of 7,200lbs. Its a high country so its loaded except i don't have the tonneu cover on, Its also a 5'8" bed double cab so a shorter wheel base. The kz connect is a 2021 C261RB GVWR is 7,345. it says the dry hitch weight is 720 lbs. We are not planning on traveling far in it, probably no further than 100 miles but totally new to towing a trailer. I know i'm pushing it with a 30 foot trailer. Just wondering if I should back out now and look for a bit smaller trailer? The rv dealers are so not helpful, I think they will tell you whatever you want to hear.
  7. I just bought a kz connect with a dry weight of 6040 lbs, gross 7300, I have a 2018 Chevy silverado 1500 High country 6.2L 4x4. A guy at the dealer said I can tow 9,400lb. Am I in a safe tow range?
