Everything I can find seems to imply that his NV is up to the task, but safety first and all! It's a 2006 Jayco bunkhouse, a bit over 7,000#, and would be the perfect home and office on the road for myself and the nonprofit ProBoneO Program! Here are the details from the man with the van! Thanks in Advance! - DR and service dogs Riley & Mellow I have a 2012 NV 3500 HD SV Cargo. In the owners manual under towing load specification the GCWR with accessory hitch is 13,500 lb. and with tow package it is 16,000 lb. I don’t have a tow package. I want to add a class IV weight distributing hitch to the van. What is it about the factory installed tow package that lets one tow an extra 2500 lb? Is there any way I can do that with after market accessories? Any opinions about which hitch brands to use? Are the U-Haul hitches bad? Most of the travel trailers we look at have dry weights around 7000 lb. so I really need that extra 2500 lb. for stuff in the trailer and van. The 9500 lb. towing capacity was why I wanted the NV V8 but it seems like I was thrown because it looks like the towing package is standard from 2014 on.
