towing ???

Okay I have a 99 nbs ecsb 2wd with a 5.3 well I am wondering will i be able to pull a 1977 coach 2 axle camping trailer it says on the title 3300 pounds

I have never towed anything with this truck but the previous owner did i assume because there is a brake controller inside the cab.

Re: towing ???

Should not be a problem at all.

If it was me I would still invest in and use an equalizer hitch.

Make sure you use a hitch and not the bumper

Re: towing ???

If your concerned, just slow down and run in 3rd gear direct. It shouldn't have any issues. Good luck!
