What is the towing capacity of a 1992 Chevy 1500 pickup with a 4.3 liter engine and a 5 speed manual transmission?

Answer 1

I don't know the numbers for the towing capacity, But I have owned three of these trucks with the 4.3, A '92, '04, and '06,, They are A very good truck which can easilly go beyond 200 thousand miles with propper maintenance. I can tell you this with certainty, The truck can tow about as much as A truck with A V-8, It cannot go as fast with the load behind it, but It has the ability. Use this rule and you will do well: Do not try to get in A hurry, Do not drive it while constantly pushing the throttle at half way or more. If you are haveing to give half therottle or more you need to slow down and give it A break, The rings will collapse if you push it too hard, This will require A engine rebuild to fix. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, This is A example of A load that I know it will haul: A tandem axle utility trailer with A full size truck on it, I would not recomend trying it in San Fransisco, because of the hills but on normal terrain it will be fine IF YOU DON"T PUSH IT.

Hope this helps, until someone can get the REAL numbers for you.
