Re: Towing with a 2001 GC 4.0 Inline 6
Sorry for no question mark, Looking for verification that this should
work, I'm a little concerned, do to postings I have read. Some people
say no problem and other say no way. Factory spec say 5000lb but
referance the gear ratio of 3.73. I have not checked my gear ratio so
it may be 3.07, I got the 3.55 off the web. I got a warm a fussy from
all the sales reps I talked to at the RV Show, but that could just be
talk to get the sale. Last year I even talk to a hitch guy and was
told it was ok. Who do you trust? I guess some small trips with tell
me if I need something bigger.

Here in Canada the cops have this nasty tendency to know what the GVWR
is on vehicles. They will even point out the nice little sticker on the
door frame for you as they are writing up tickets and calling the tow
truck.
If your maximum allowed is 5000 lb, believe me they know this....
Been there, had to drop the empty bunk bed trailer and have it towed
away. 'I' don't believe the gutted trailer was over, but the dual axles
on it implied it was capable and designed to be over my Chevy 1/2 ton's
GCWR.
