Hey guys,
Purchased my first truck 3 weeks ago, a 2014 Silverado LT 2WD Crew Cab with the EcoTec3 5.3L V8 Engine. It also has the Medium Trailering package with 3.42 Gears, Locking Rear Differential. It is rated to tow 9,800Lbs.
I am in the market of buying a Trailer Hitch for it but not quite sure what I need. The truck does not have trailer brakes integrated as that was only in the top Trailering package.
The only thing I would be towing is my GN and using a car trailer rented from UHAUL or one of the other moving companies until I can buy my own trailer.
GN is weighing in at 3400lbs and I'm guessing a car trailer from Uhaul is about 800lbs?
Can someone experienced in this area point me in the right direction and advise me on what I would need? Trailer Brakes? Weight Distribution?
Thank you for your time and knowledge.
