Today I moved our TT from winter storage to the dealer for NYS Inspection and such.
First time towing with my new truck.
I went from a 2017 Silverado LT to a 2020 Silverado LTZ. Also from a 5.3L to a 6.2L V8.
OK more HP is always nice but the big issue is the tow.
With my 2017 I always had a little shake, hard to explain but when first setting out the truck felt a little unsettled. After a few miles I would just get use to it.
My 202 is rock steady and smooth.
Both have the basic tow package but the new truck just feels more locked down. New frame? New suspension?
Don't really know but the 40 minute tow was just much more relaxing.
By the by, before you all get on my case about towing with a 1500 look at WHAT I'm towing. Fully loaded on a good scale it's around 4400 to 4500 LBS.
