Towing with a chevy 1/2 ton

Would I be hurting towing 10500#?

Daveandlo, Hurting? Certainly your MPG :)

I take my tractor in for service occasionally and am right at the max load for my 1/2 ton Chevy Z-71. But I'm only going a short distance (about 15 miles), have brakes on both axles, adjust my controller for the load on gravel before taking to the streets, and have no big hills to deal with. I certainly know I've got something back there, but do feel in control. I practiced some emergency stops and turns the first time I used this set up. I would not want to pull this load for long distances or through steep hills though. Hope this helps you make your decision. Be safe! Ed
I wouldn't fret the truck but that trailer is......well......it ain't happenin. Hope that was a joke pic.
