Towing 6k lbs

[The 'ER]

Just some of the hitch and you hooked up. We have a ton of guys coming in with heavy iron lifted and they are all scared of the towing with weight and sway. No rush but when you get a chance.

Here is me on the 4th 7,000 lb 33' travel trailer in tow. I knew she was back there but pulled it like a dream.

I think I'm going to go with BB, thank you. Do you have the 5.3 or 6.0?
As far as the bags, is that because you do not have auto leveling or you wanted the extra support? Thanks

Ive got the 5.3. I really think it pulls good. I keep 10lbs in the bags for daily use. 04 things are saggin! I would also pop a vette servo in there abd although i didnt do it i would add the 4th gear servo upgrade as well.

As for brakes a recently did the R1 drilled/slotted rotors and ceramic pads on all 4 and have had good luck thus far. Especially when they heat up.

Got my Black Bear tune and will be upgrading brakes in 2 weeks before towing to Watkins Glen.
The tune really seemed to wake up the performance, thanks for the recommendation.

Did the GMT900 upgrade, piece of cake and feels and works great.

What rotors did you go with? Rotors can make a huge difference in stop performance.

So smooth rotors. Not drilled or slotted.

Drilled will vent more heat on hard stops towing.

Slotted will grabb harder BUT remember BUT they will chew pads faster. But what's $60 a year in pads to stop in time. That right nothing.

X2 best money I ever spent on my Mustang. Needed with the Tahoe with my big meets. Cross drilled and slotted only.

We you should put the PP 14" rotors, caliper spacers. And nice pads on. And a good slotted drilled. And add a set pads annually.

I prefer one piece blanks on my tow vehicles and open slot two piece on my race cars.
