I don't want to steal your thread Razz but since it's already here <IMG src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0"> if someone in passing could answer what they think about a 1/2 Ton 1500 Sierra with a 350 Vortec pulling a 2 horse bumper pull trailer or experiences?

SP, that's what I have! Mine's a '98 and I love it! I've got an older 2horse with a dressing room, weighs about 3000 lbs empty and I dont seem to have any problems with it. It's a great truck, the 350 is super powerful, and it's surprisingly good on gas while towing!
This is my fav type of topic! I am a HUGE truck lover, and I'd love to answer any truck questions/give some advice.
Something to keep in mind with a lighter duty truck like that - they make ALL SORTS of stuff you can add on to your truck for more power/torque, etc. I recommend getting a "chip" - they make different kinds, they go into the computer in your truck and can do a variety of things - i.e change the shifting points, improve gas milage, etc. You can get them for a relatively reasonable price and they make a HUGE difference. Being a truck freak, I'm also putting dual exhausts on my truck - gives in some more power as well....
I better stop talking trucks or this will go on forever!
