Towing Capacity
Hey, I have a 2009 Silverado quad cab Z71. Is there a way i can tell the towing capacity? I looked at the manual and I don't know how to tell the style I have regarding the towing capacity
Thanks Chris

Re: Towing Capacity
Your truck should have the exact information for your configuration on a sticker along the edge of the door.

Re: Towing Capacity
I looked at the radiator and it looks like I have a Trans cooler on the front of it or something that looks like a cooler. But is there any way to tell for sure like the vin # or something

Re: Towing Capacity
Chris are you sure that wasn't the AC condenser? I am not certain, but I think they put a condenser in front of the radiator.
