| The truck i purchased has a max towing package that is supposed to safely tow 10,600# in crew cab configuration. i have a 28' pace daytona trailer that weighs under 8,000# as i tow it. at approximately 50 mph, the truck has a very severe sway issue. it is frightening to drive as the trailer starts shifting the rear of the truck back and forth. i have not had an accident with the truck as yet, but i feel the situation is very dangerous. i have contacted chevrolet customer service in michigan to ask for assistance with this issue. they say they have no information that can help solve my problem. i was instructed to bring the truck and trailer to lone star chevrolet in houston where i purchased the truck. several visits there and talking to several service people has yielded no help. i was told that the truck can't pull a trailer of that physical size. oddly enough, the 2012 model truck advertises a new sway control feature. this 2013 brochure ever depicts a scene of the trailer swaying as mine does, with a box type trailer in the add. since chevrolet claims it has no history of this being an issue, i felt that i should notify someone of this unsafe situation with this particular vehicle. thanks for allowing me to share my problem with someone who might research this issue and try to prevent a serious accident. | |||

| I own a chevrolet 2011 1/2 ton truck and i noticed days after i bought it that the right column between the windshield and the passanger window creates a blind spot for the driver that almost cost me an accident because i could not see a motocycle coming from my right in the intersection about to do a left turn. | |||
