Towing 22BH with a 2017 V6 Silverado
Looking to become a first-time camper owner.
I have a 2017 Silverado 1500, V6 Z71 4x4 with the towing package. I'm interested to hear how easily (or not) it'll be to haul a Jayco SLX 8 224BH. I definitely want a bunkhouse but I'm unsure about how comfortably I can tow a camper. Does anyone have this same truck or are familiar with how well it'll tow a camper that may be upwards to 6,000 pounds.
I've had my eye on the SLX 7 174BH, the wife and 2 kids are looking for something minimal. We don't plan on living in it, just sleeping and cooking. We'll be outdoors kayaking/hiking/fishing during the day.
I hear many people say that they wish they went bigger and its the only reason I'm considering the 224 over the 174. I'm curious to hear what people have to say. Salesmen will always tell me that it'll be OK, but they make more commission off the 224 so I'm hesitant to believe them.
