Trailer ratings were only in the brochures and were very conservative, IMO. I think my 1973 K20 was only rated for about 4K# trailer weight for some reason (?). I had combined weight of about 14K# all the way to Alaska and it wasn't any problem except I should have had 10 ply tires.

A C20 will always be better than a C10 for towing but if you lower it you will have negated any factory tow ratings to begin with
It will depend on how it's lowered.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
