Default Pulling a Top Gun
Looking for advice on towing a 38' Cigarette Top Gun.
Will a 2014 Silverado 1/2 ton Z71 4 wheel drive do the job?

yes, for 100 flat yards with no rocks, my TG will push my 3/4 ton around in certain situations.

I would think a 3/4 ton Silverado (gas) would handle it then?

OMG, here we go again.

There are about 2 go-zillion threads on towing. Your load will be between 12-16K lbs. You need to find a truck with this towing capacity. See the first thread in this section for ratings.
