Whatever the weight limit is for hauling. Just look in the book that came with the truck.

My son pulls a 36 foot camper with his Ford F-150, your truck should do the same. Check your owners manual and the people who sell the camper as to what kind of hitch you will need, certainly not a regular bumper hitch.

my 98 chevy silverado 1500 w/ 6.5 turbo diesel
is rated to tow 8500 lbs, if yours is gasoline, it will be less, check your owners manual.

as long as your trailer comes with a leveler hitch , ( i cant thik of the proper name ), you should be all set,, up to 36 footer,

i wouldnt go to limit that your manual says i use to work for rv &gm shop unless you like replacing motors

We have a 32 foot that we towed around with a 1500 with no problems. I would recommend a Distribution Hitch system. It comes with sway bars that you attach to the receiver and the trailer. It helps keep the trailer from rocking and swaying while you are going down the road.
