I need to know what the towing capacity is on it. Also where to get a good hitch for it. I bought this van to tow my offroader and haul my kids around van and offroader pictured below. BTW truck wieghs about 5500lbs according to morristown iron and metals scales. van wieghs 6600lbs. | | | Re: Towing Capacity | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 6 stranger | OP stranger Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 6 | Also is the gm10bolt rear in this an 8.5 or 8.2? How many spline is the axle? | | | Re: Towing Capacity | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 4,007 Likes: 46 pooh-bah | pooh-bah Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 4,007 Likes: 46 | Should be able to tow it with no problems since it is a 3/4 ton van. You can probably get a good hitch at 1. U-Haul, 2. A RV shop, 3. The auto parts store, 4. or someplace that specializes in hitches. I would probably go with a Class 3 or 4 hitch due to the weight of the truck, a class 1 and 2 will haul around 2500 to 3000 pounds with no problems, so you'll want the added weight capabilities.

My wife was drive down the interstate and the serpentine belt broke. In the process it tore the power steering pump completely off the motor. It snapped 2 bolts off in the block and snapped the bracket in half. | | | Re: Towing Capacity #106532 November 06th 2006 12:51 am | Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 41 newbie | newbie Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 41 | Ouch! easy outs and junk yard sounds like the way to go.
