Trailer Recommendations
You must subtract your hitch loads from the CWR
for your vehicle. Weigh your vehicle with your trailer
attached, so that you won't go over the GVWR or
the GAWR.
You'll get the best performance if you spread out the
weight of your load the right way, and if you choose the
correct hitch and trailer brakes.
For more information, see "Towing a Trailer" in
the Index.
Pickup Conversion to Chassis Cab
General Motors is aware that some vehicle owners may
consider having the pickup box removed and a
commercial or recreational body installed. However, we
recommend that conversions of this type not be done to
pickups. Owners should be aware that, as manufactured,
there are differences between a chassis cab and a pickup
with the box removed which may affect vehicle safety.
For specific information on this pickup, contact the GM
Zone Office for your area. (See the "Warranty and
Owner Assistance" booklet for Zone Office.)
