This truck towed great.

Very nice. Which model camper is that? We're looking for something similar, but would like to get the largest one possible without causing overweight problems.

Thx!

Great post. Thank you. I have a '24 Chev Colorado Z71 (same tow capacity as yours: 7,700 lbs). I'm picking up on 3/18/25 a new '24 Winnebago Micro Minnie 2100BH (not FLX). I was wondering if you'd be kind enough to mention: (1) what hitch you used (make/model/weight); (2) I assume you used the "Tow" drive/transmission setting - question: did you need any additional settings/adjustments for the AT4 dashboard, and/or lower-left brake slider/controller, either initially or along the way? Thanks in advance. I'll share my info after pickup. Thank you.

Please post pics once you take delivery. I'm looking at a 21' as well, but am afraid I'll be pushing things a bit. Hope it works out for you!

Just bought an old 1999 22FT frontier trailer. With a dry weight of 4400lbs and a GVWR of 6800 lbs.
hitch weight of 600-1100 lbs depending on loading.
Towed it home for about a hours trip. Seemed fine with a WDH.
what do you guys feel about a trailer this large? Are people towing comparible trailers?
Thanks!

Please let us know how it goes for you. I am looking at a 22' as well, but it does seem to be pushing the limits of the truck. 22' seems to be the cutoff between cramped and roomy. The 20' trailers just seem really small.

2024 Colorado Trail Boss- Advanced Trailer Package

2013 Keystone Bullet 230 BHS
UVW-4300 lbs/GVW- 6400 lbs
475 lb hitch weight
Equalizer hitch

From Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Knew the truck had the power, but was a bit concerned with length and sway of a 27 (ball to bumper) ft trailer. Have Equalizer hitch all set up and level across board so that should help with sway. We don't have major Interstates here on the far east coast of Canada so speeds will be kept to 90-95 kph (50-55 mph?) and our hills are short but can be quite punchy. Did one initial tow to get trailer home and ball was wayyyy too high and Equalizer was not set up even remotely properly (was a quick 5 km ride home), and I was impressed with the power and capabilities of the truck. I towed a smaller single axle trailer with a Honda Ridgeline and never felt 100% comfortable even though the truck had the power.

Ran all the numbers on payload and should be good. We camp at mostly serviced sites so we travel light with just basics and food (no water in tanks).

Really looking forward to the official start of camping season on the May 2-4 long weekend here in Canada and really looking forward to seeing the capabilities of this truck. If anyone towed a similar trailer with weight and length I'd love to hear your feedback.

Congrats on the new trailer. Very interested to see how it does over the long haul. Please keep us informed. Thx!

For those of you considering purchasing a camper to pull behind your gen 3 (which I am), I found this video helpful in trying to determine what size trailer I can safely pull. Many of us consider GVWR, but what about length?
