Re: Towing weight?
Combined weight of loaded truck and trailer... for an L6 3.73 C-10 was only 6,250 lbs??? The truck weighs about 3,800lbs. Dang. That means I could really only haul a "lowes" style small trailer with about a ton in it.

Re: Towing weight?
Well I'm a happy camper.
The authorities accepted the letter I got from GM Canada and I now can officially tow the weight of 1299 kilograms (2863 lbs) behind the Longhorn. Cya, Edmond Dutch Longhorn

Re: Towing weight?
Good job Edmond. Sorry GM USA is so worried about litigation that they weren't able to help.

Yeah I know it's not the biggest load one can tow, but all together, the weight of the truck, the load in the truck and the towing weight behind the truck I'm within the GCW of 9500lbs that GM recommends for my Longhorn. At least I can now legally tow some kind of weight. Before I could not tow anything. Yep, I'm happy with it! Cya, Edmond
