Your Driving and the Road If You Do Decide fo Pull a Trailer (CONT.) Then, duringthe first 500 miles (800 km) that you tow a trailer, don't drive over 50 mph (80 l d h ) and don't makestarts at full throttle. This helps your engine and other parts of your vehicle wearin at theheavier loads. Three important considerations have to do with weight: Weight of the Trailer How heavy can a trailer safely be? It should never weigh morethan 1,000 pounds (450 kg).But even that can be too heavy. It depends how you on plan to use your rig. For example, speed, altitude, road grades, outside temperature and how much your vehicle is usedto pull a trailer are all important. And,it can also depend on any special equipment you have that on your vehicle.You can ask your dealer forour trailering information or advice, oryou can writeus at: Chevrolet Customer Assistance Department P.O.
