Hello,
This question isn't really RV related but I thought someone may be able to help me out.
I'm looking to downgrade from my Chev Silverado 2500HD to a 2007 Chev Tahoe LT (towing package, V8). My problem is that I tow a 22ft car carrier trailer, tandem axle, with a curb weight of 3200lbs. Inside I tow an restored truck which is 4000lbs. Since the gross towing weight of the Tahoe is 7500lbs and the combined weight of the trailer and truck would be 7200 lbs. Is this weight too close to the gross towing weight for that type of vehicle? I've only ever owned and towed with full size pickups so I'm unsure how it will perform.
Any info would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
