Towing with 2020 GMC Sierra 1500

Asked by Darren Sep 18, 2020 at 04:09 PM about the 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 Double Cab 4WD

Question type: General

I will be towing a double axle utility trailer total
maximum weight on the hitch will be 5000
pounds.  Plus a maximum weight in the truck
bed including passengers will be 2500
pounds.   I have no external transmission
intercooler but I do have the towing package.  
Planning to do a single one way trip with this
trailer/load about 1100 miles through the
Rocky Mountains.   Will I be ok running two
thirds capacity on the hitch?  Should I reduce
my load in the trailer and or truck?  Dealership
mechanic said I would be fine.

Check the 2020 Chevy towing guide. I suspect you are maxed out. 5,000 pounds plus 2,500 is 7,500 pounds. If you blow it up the dealer is not gonna help you.

Towing capacity is load + trailer weight. 2,500 pounds in the truck may exceed your load capacity.

The total cargo with passengers must not exceed 2500. That is the max. I am planning on going under the max but I wanted to hear experts opinion. So your saying hauling at max load is not a good idea for the truck in mountains along with a 2/3 capacity on the hitch.
