My 99 chevy 1/2 swb 2wd with a 4.8 auto with 13xxxx miles on pulls my car hauler all the time, I pulled a 71 K5 blazer, a 74 Nova, 9x Caravan, and had the trailer fully loaded when I went to the swap meet. It pulls it just fine, just not quickly. I really dislike the newer trucks because of all the computers and sensor and just BS that can go wrong, but the way the tow/haul mode changes shift point and locks up the torque converter and locks out overdrive (?) (never really paid attention to wether there way 3 or 4 gears when I was hauling) totally amazes me. And for that I give it a thumbs up. Question, I know I drive mine hard, but I average 14 1/2 mpg driving and a little over 12 mpg hauling. What does everyone else get. All that is done mechanicly is the muffler was cut off and a 3" flowmaster 2 chamber 40 series with a dump was put on. Nothing else though....
