 Topic: New GMC truck Commercial
Posted: 23 Sep 2024 at 4:55am |

For the Sierra 2500 &3500 series, tow capacity is what caught my eye.
These design people are now truly scary. Tow Rating for a 2500: 22,430lbs for the 3500: 36,000lbs both when factory Goose or Fifth wheel equipped, an option two system.
The 3500 series will be as the law directs, a CDL Required machine, GCWR in excess of 26,000lbs. That is of course unless register as a RV where cannot use to do chore work or F tag it and cannot use as a RV or distance driver. Needless to say this is pretty stupid capacities for pickup style machines

Brakes are just great Jay. Remember it's a GM. My 40 ft. Toy Hauler 5th Wheel has 3 Axles with Brakes at every Wheel.
Truck has Disc Brakes all around designed for its GVWR of around 11,000 lb.
Trailer brakes take care of the rest.

It's a GM, comes with trailer hitch & HD brakes. Bet that comes in handy for the obese pride parade.

Do they mean I am not supposed to be pulling that much weight with my 1/2 ton Chevy? That's a joke guys.

Might be a joke, but you know damn well it's been done before even if not by you!
