233 or Larger with a Sierra 4.8L Crew Cab

Anyone have any experience with this set up? I would like to know what you think. How does your TT tow? What is your fuel mileage?

I don't know what your 233 means... but I have a 4.8L Chevy crew cab... I tow a 6000 pound 26' (31' overall length) with sway bars and it's fine unless the wind is really really nasty... and that would effect any combination

233 is a model in the Shamrock line of hybrids. Its a 233s without the slide.

Thanks ridersfan...what is the measurement of the front height from ground to wheel well when your TT is hitched up? I think I am having tow problems as my TT isn't quite level when I tow.

I tow a 233s in the mtns of co with a tundra 5.7. Not quite the same but I have power to spare, even on the 12k ft passes. You should be fine. Might put a set of the ride rite airbags on it though (I did and love them).
