bkmylan Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Does anyone know what the towing capacity is for an '04 VHO? What I see on the internet shows 7,500lbs, but I think that is too low. I would like to see the true specs, and I've had this truck since it was new, but the VHO's are kind of unique. Thank you, Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoothdime Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 thats probably close. these are half-ton trucks not meant for big heavy loads. two wheel drive models are rated a little higher just fyi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Bag Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) I believe for 04 being a 10 bolt rear end it's 9,700 lbs. 05,06 with 14 bolt rear end is 10,300 lbs. and new bodystyle is 10,500 lbs. due to the new 6.0 w 367hp Please correct me if wrong It is stamped on your hitch right by receiver max load capacity Edited February 2, 2011 by Bad aSS Silvy (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkmylan Posted February 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 thanks for the info, I thought it was more than 7,500lbs. I have 3.73 rear end, towing package, Magnaflow, and cold air intake. Go VHO!!!! Brad Tucson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamAirZ Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) My owners manual as a huge break down of every model, my 04' 5.3 with 3.73's is 8100lbs. They list a 6.0 2wd truck with 3.73's at 8300lbs and 4.10's at 10300lbs, 4WD trucks are 300lbs less.

Thanks for the info RamAir, as you can see from the different postings, there are a few different opinions as far as the towing ability of an '04 VHO. I'm towing a 4,000lb. dry weight travel trailer. I have had no issues with the truck being able to tow this thing, but have not been able to find out the real towing specs. From what you are telling me, my guess is that you are probably right on.
