Towing Utility Trailer ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Ironhorse** · 08-02-2006, 05:14 AM

Can anyone tell me, am I okay with pulling a 5 x 10 utility trailer with my '91 Burb 1/2 ton 4x4 using the 4th gear overdrive? Trailer is a wood deck, mesh drop gate ramp, lights with no brakes. Light duty trailer, will be loaded with apartment furnishings for my son going to school this fall, sofa, chair, bed, etc. Trailer has 15" wheels, 5 on 5 with 215/75/15 tires. Would like to use the overdrive gearing just for the mileage question, last year had the trans. rebuilt at 172,000 miles. Stock set-up, no added trans. cooler.
