    What did you do to your 5th Gen?

    you absolutely need to account for the trailer tongue weight it’s weight added to the vehicle just as it would be for passenger or cargo 🙄. If you don’t you will likely be over rear axle weight.

    What did you do to your 5th Gen?

    They also put the 6.2/6.5 in “everything “ in the early 90’s including hummers those engines were notorious for crank issues so just because they go in everything doesn’t mean they are perfect. ( I hope this doesn’t start a converted gas engine talk)

    If this is true how can I add a 20k goose in my pick up and still be ok in DOT’s eyes as well as fords? Why does the sales brochure say non tow package rigs can have the hitch added without oil cooler and tow 2k and if you add the oil cooler it’s 5k?

    What did you do to your 5th Gen?
