just bought a 2009 3500 dually crew cab 4x4 LTZ and was wondering if i can tow this behind my class a 40' beaver motor home ? we used to tow a 24' open trailer with 74 bronco 4x4 and golf cart behind with no problems. now i want to take my new truck to hatteras and also bring golf cart. so i was wondering what tow system to use ?,do i have to take drive shaft out of dually ? thanks herman hood
Most GM truck 4X4's are towable without any modifications. Read your owners manual, under RV towing. Your receiver on the MH is rated for 10K and the truck with a golf cart will be close to that figure, so make sure you are using a towbar that is also rated at or above 10K. On our GM 4X4, all we do is put the transfer case in N, the transmission in P and the key in your pocket, as GM does not install a steering lock on their trucks. Makes a great toad.

It should tow fine if your MH is rated for towing 10,000 lbs. However, that heavy you would want to install an auxiliary brake system on the truck. The truck is going to weigh almost 1/3 of the weight of the MH which would give the MH a pretty good push without a brake system.
