Went out riding the ATV today. People love this thing. Everywhere I went, they ask about it or I catch them looking....... at the trail head, the car wash & the gas station. epper:

How good does your Nitro do with the trailer and the ATV as far as towing?
Any issues? Does the 3.7 do OK with it? I'm considering the Nitro for my next vehicle and would like your input.

Thanks,

That trailer with 2 ATVs weighs in around 2200 lbs. & the Nitro pulls it & stops it easily. Even pulled it thru the snow easily this winter!
I'll be pulling a 4k lb. boat with the Nitro pretty soon. That should be a test!

If It's not too much trouble, Might I ask if you could PM me when you've done this and let me know how it turns out?

I am considering replacing my 1500 Silverado with the Nitro R/T, and will be using it to tow my boat, and ATV Trailers....

Thanks,

Sure. I'd bet there will be several of us towing boats soon so there will be some talk online about it.
So what is the tow capacity of the 1500? I assume it's a V8? Seems like it would be a bit higher than the Nitro.

Thanks,

It should handle my trailer and ATV's easily then.

I'll be towing my boat hopefully in the next month to month in a half too. That was part of what sold me on the nitro was the ability to tow my "toys."

Yeah It's a 4.7L V8, I am sure the towing cap is higher than the Nitro, But It Drinks gas when towing, and The problem I have is stopping. I'm not sure why, but it seams like Chevy put too small of brakes on the 01' Silverado 1500's, because My Boat isn't that heavy, but the truck doesn't stop well when towing...

Looks good, Junky

The Nitro has an I Want To Punch You In The Face look!!! :Racing:

Thanks guys,
One thing, I'd be damn sure to have trailer brakes if your pulling more than about 3000 lbs with the Nitro. I haven't done it yet, but I can't imagine you want to bake your rotors stopping all that weight by itself.
