08' GM dually
 

My local dealer called the other day and said he had the order forms for the new 08 duallys (chevy).He is the owner and a great guy, but sometimes gets a little confused on the details. Does anyone have anything in writing about the towing capacity.Specifically tag along. I am a GM guy and really don't want to switch but last yr the ford was rated at 15k at the hitch which would make me legal. Meaning I would still have insurance if there was ever a problem. I can't imagine GM not raising their's to at least this level but I would like to see it.
Thanks Michael

Hey dude, I have a print out 4 a new 2500 that does not say the tow cap. but they R offering a 2.5 inch receiver from the factory! Assume ratings will B higher?????? I think GM is going 2 call it an 07 though!?? I plan on going 2 the Detroit Auto show in a few days & check'n'm out!! Tracy

well ford up'd all the tow ratings for the new 08 so i would think chevy is going to up as well....

That's what I heard, so hopefully GM will follow suit. I would just like to see it in print before I order one.

not trying to start anything but jeez is that thing ugly....needs some bigger wheels/ tires or somthing....

Re: 08' GM dually
 

GM has always used weenie tires and the hd wheels have always sucked!

Re: 08' GM dually
 

I like the truck but agree about the tires and wheels. Never understood why they didn't put something nice on them like the fords.
I see the 16,500 rating, but that doesn't tell if it is tag along or fifth wheel. I betting the later. I really need to know what the tag along rating is, that is what my new rig is. HELP:D
