Grand National

what are the towing capacities of the TBSS? I want to know cuz i wanna tow my Grand National with it and need to know if it can handle it. Does the TBSS have the Automatic Air adjusting rear thingy? Ive seen an Escalade with that and he was towing a enclosed trailer with a 04 cobra in it with no problems. Thanks for any help in advance.

If you check GM's site, it shows you everything you need to know on this. http://www.chevrolet.com/trailblazer/specifications/
2WD 6,800lbs
AWD 6,600lbs
All SS's come with load leveling suspension.

I believe it is the other way around.....2wd - 6,800lbs/awd - 6,600lbs

Also should be in your owner's manual.

I don't have ESP, and it doesn't list what vehicle he owns. Just assumed he owned one and wanted to know.
Just trying to offer some help.

I have an 2WD 06 and tow a 66 chevelle with an open car trailer. The chevelle weighs around 3500 lbs. This truck tows it great. Can head down the freeway with the cruise set at 79mph and barely feel the trailer and driving thru town stop and go the truck has plenty of power to get you moving. Since the rear of the truck automatically raises to the correct ride height, the weight of the loaded trailer does not cause the rear of the truck to squat at all, which makes it very easy to drive and tow. I am even not using any kind of weight distibution towing setup. You should not have any problems towing the Grand National.:)

I don't think you have that option until you have 10 posts. But when you do, you would click on "User CP" on the upper left of the page. One of the options will be your signature set up.:cool:

No problem, don't worry about. 2002SLT jumped on me about my post for some unknown reason, and that was directed back toward him, not you.

Wow! Don't be so sensitive. :chillpill:
I guess I just thought it was obvious he didn't have one.

YES!!! Better safe then sorry....It never hurts to add cooling to a trans in any vehicle that tows.

GM, no.
Aftermarket, yes and tons to choose from. Try to get the largest one you can find that fits well with your radiator, I choose a 18800gvwr cooler that cost $50 and installed it in about 1hr. Make sure you get a little more ATF too, to fill the lines and whatnot, but be careful as you dont want to add too much.
