Put 10 ply tires on and you double your towing capacity and mpg...

If you'll put two BIG spare tires in the bed, you'll have a big 6 wheel dually, and it can then haul two of those things.

I was really nice to get out . Was my first time camping while plugged in . I can see how nice having hookups would be . I just dont like people hahaha

There's no way a trailer like that would ever be seen out in public hooked to a GMC.

You know you didn’t need to spend all the money on the airbags, just strap some cement blocks to the front of the truck to level it out.
(And yes I am a card carrying member of the so called weight police )

I just got back from picking up 4 tractor tires, guess that makes my truck a farm tractor unless it doesn't count as the tires are on a trailer.

Put dualies on the fronts and you'll be able to tandem tow a toy hauler behind it.
You won't even know it's back there.
