Back in Black - GM Style
My son said that I needed a new truck to match the trailer I bought last week so I obliged and bought a new AT4...in black of course. I tried to find a 2500HD but could not source one right away, so I ordered a diesel and managed to snag this 6.2 GMC until the new one comes in 6 months or so.
I'm sure it'll pull the load nicely with 420hp/460lbs. I'm back in black...again!

Thanks Bruce. Don't know that I like it as much as that Pearl rig you just landed but I will have to make due I guess. One things for sure, It'll sure be hard to hide when that Yellow Brat comes sneakin' out of the back.
Maybe I'll need to trade that Z in on a black LS6 or a black RS Z/28.

Does this mean that you will be making the trip to Bowling Green in July?

What's the trailer towing capacity on that black truck?
The crazy thing is that any decent half-ton pickup nowadays is rated far higher in towing capacity than an old 3/4-ton. It's amazing how far these things have come. My old 1995 6.5 diesel K2500 Suburban is rated at 7,500 lbs towing. That's like a mini-pickup rating now!!! Last edited by njsteve; 04-08-2022 at 11:26 AM.

This one has RPO NH1 which denotes the max trailering package. Combined with the 6.2L engine it has a max tow weight of 13,000lbs. Respectable I'd say.
I think most of the standard pickups will now tow about 8900 lbs by spec, but that is likely impacted with the smaller motors. https://gmauthority.com/blog/2022/01...ng-capacities/

Nice!
The 6.2 is so much better than the 5.3. I love mine.

----My 1993 Suburban with the 510 cube big block will pull manything, but it's the brakes that I worry about. I wish I could find a company that makes an affordable brake upgrade. One of my boats weighs 11,000lbs and even with the trailer brakes I'm extra careful!....Bill S
