[Rangerdaniel]

I know these questions are asked ALL THE TIME, but looking to upgrade my TT, but dont want to go to heavy for my truck. Here are the specs of my current tow vehicle:
any help is appreciated

What is your question?

[Rangerdaniel]

OOops, thank you.

The weight distribution hitch max trailer weight is listed as 6,700, 9,500, 5500 lbs then it sasy 5,500 min 10,400 max.

Those are a lot of different numbers. Is it saying I can tow up to 9,500?

Then the Gross Combined weight rating is 15,000, 11,500, 11,000 lbs. 11,000 min, 16,000 max

Again, a lot of #s, is it saying my gross is 15,000?

That 6L80 trans hates to be hot. Buy a larger tranny cooler whatever you do.

we cant answer about your specific vehicle without more info. Like a picture of the placard in the drivers door frame. The numbers you posted range the whole Silverado 1500 lineup v6-v8 tow package, non tow package etc

Will post in a few. Thank you

Thank you, you mean a larger transmission cooler than the factory one? I does have a tranny cooler installed. But I would need a larger one?

Yes.

The Tru-Cool 40k was my go-to and it works well.

It's going to depend on HOW BIG of a TT you tow. I pulled a 2007 26' Jayco for 10 years with a 2004 F150 Lariat and a 2013 Chevy 1500 Silverado. Both had factory tranny coolers and both did just fine. Loaded, I was running right around 7000 lbs plus.
