Tell me about it...now if you're pulling anything bigger than a lawnmower trailer with anything less than a 1 ton diesel, you're way overloaded. lol. I have that same brochure except for it's the '86 version and on the cover there's a monte carlo pulling a travel trailer, a camaro pulling a boat, an s-10 pulling a horse trailer, etc. Undoubtedly today's trucks are far safer and superior tow rigs to what we had in the '80's but I don't seem to remember an accident every time someone hooked up and hit the road back then either. Thanks for the link to the video, gonna give it a look.

Re: 1985 Chevy truck brochure

The '86 Recreation ratings are the same as Commercial. In your brochure the Recreation ratings are 1000lbs less than Commercial.

Re: 1985 Chevy truck brochure

I found this kind of interesting. I searched for the hitch, step bumper and ball part numbers from the back of the brochure and actually found a couple of them:

Re: 1985 Chevy truck brochure

Not a problem, I know the question comes up alot about "How much can my truck tow?"
