Default Re: 5.3L towing

I have a 2013 Silverado 4x4 with the Z71 package . It has HD towing and has a 6 spd automatic , 3.42 rear end ratio , and the optional integrated brake controller . This package works well with a open wheeled trailer , but would need more power if you wanted to tow an enclosed trailer . I also have a 2015 extended wheel base 1 ton Chevy Express passenger van , with a 6.0 L , 6 spd automatic , and a 3.42 rear gear . That van pulls and 24' enclosed trailer like a dream . It is a very capable tow rig !
