Chevy Silverado 3500HD 4x4 duramax
False advertising on 2011 truck tow ratings

December. 2010 I chose to buy a vehicle using the ideas of buying a fifth-wheel toyhauler soon after. I began to study vans as well as their towing capability. I've been keen on Chevrolet and so I visited a chevrolet dealer within Illinois, and began searching through the Overall Motors (GM) advertising magazines within the shops shop. I had been attempting to choose between a 4WD 3500HD SIMPLE REAR-WHEEL truck or even the 4WD 3500HD DOUBLE REAR WHEEL vehicle. The list mentioned the SRW might pull a maximum limit of 21500 lbs also it mentioned that DRW might pull 21700 pounds. And so I determined that the 200-lb distinction was not greatly and so I bought the 4WD 3500HD SRW vehicle since I love the looks better. I had been pleased with my option after which began searching for a fifth-wheel. I bought my fifth-wheel in Jan. 2011. The max limit on my fifth-wheel is 18000 pounds. And so I was really comfortable towing it since I believed my vehicle might carry 21500 pounds. A couple of days following the purchase of my fifth-wheel I ripped out my homeowners manual for my vehicle to see about towing and unearthed that my vehicle can only just really carry 16800 pounds. I introduced this towards the interest of the dealer plus they decided that there is a difference. They recommended me to get hold of GM and attempt to discover if there might be an answer. GM might do nothing and so I returned towards the dealer and spoke using the sales mgr. And he said they'd observe about calling GM on my account. A few months have handed today and GM has offered me having a pair various presents however they need me to spend more income for them to get involved with an automobile that may pull my fifth-wheel securely, but I actually donot feel just like I ought to need to purchase their errors. Our primary criticism and problem is the fact that I've an automobile that I will properly pull my fifth-wheel with, and that I wish that no body gets hurt due to GMis advertising errors! Towing anything to large isn't just illegitimate however it places individuals lives in danger! I wonder just how many others are available which have been trick by GM advertising materials.
