2019 Chevrolet Silverado Trail Boss LT with towing package. Crew cab, short box, 5.3L V8, with 8 speed transmission.

Truck came with running boards and sprayed in bed liner, so I had then throw in underspray, window tinting, add a hard tri-fold toneau cover. Here in Canada Costco just switched to GM this week, we saved $5000 with Costco and got a $500 gift card on top. Also got top dollar for my trade in.

Payload is 1685 lbs
Towing is 9600 lbs

My trailer tongue weight is 425 + weight distribution bars, so 500 lbs total.

With bikes, myself, wife, kids, dog, and more, we're still well under our payload limit towing.

Truck looks awesome, and does better on gas than my 2016 Traverse. Truck will be a daily driver.

We're really excited to pick it up Wednesday.

Thank you everyone for all of the advice!

Good on you.
I like to shift in to "L" aka lockout just before a hill. This drops the tranny out of over drive before the system out do it.
If you just start up a climb eventually the ECM will tell the tranny to down shift but you will be lugging for a bit. If you shift to "L" just before the climb you will be in a lower gear.
OK, OK you don't have to do this but I think it saves gas and engine wear. JMHO.
