Don't know much about Chevy but I think that's a 1500 series 4x4. Just guessing, I doubt it's the short box version. Standard 1/2 ton version or extended cab? 350 motor? Longer wheel base trucks tow better it seems. 4x4 vehicles seem better suited. I havent really found a good way to determine towing capacity for different make trucks. Do they spec towing capacity anywhere? The VIN number for a vehicle has a code for GVW but I haven't seen where manufacturers really spec out towing capacity. GVW for the tow vehicle refers to the weight of the tow vehicle
and the load directly on the tow vehicle. It doesn't speak to the tow load as far as I can figure. So I guess it's whatever we dare pull with em. 12,000 cap trailer would seem a bit much
if full loaded. You had maybe 8,000 (just guessing 3,000 trailer, 5,000 tractor) total so probably OK for that truck. I know my full size Bronco with 5.0 motor doesn't handle my 10,000 dump trailer worth a dang with any kind of load on it. Short wheelbase truck, small motor what can I expect. My buddy's Chevy 2500 4X4 with the big motor and allison trans has no problem full loaded 10,000 dump trailer. That truck seems to be a pretty good tow vehicle.

The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
