stock Hitch on 2015 Silverado 4x4

[CJAG]

I have a 500/5000 hitch that came on my truck. It says it can tow 9200 lbs. If I get a trailer with a tongue weight of 650 lbs do I need a new receiver? Or does the WD/sway bar make up for it?

I had a dealer tell me Chevy would never put a receiver on my rig that would not be able to tow 9200 lbs and some heavy tongue weight.

Yes, the WD hitch does this for you. It shifts some of the weight from the receiver and rear axle to the front axle. Your hitch should have two capacities listed - wight carrying and weight distributing. The WD rating will be higher.
