* Your motorhome's towing capacity: This is the most crucial factor. Check your motorhome's owner's manual. It will specify the maximum towing weight (GTW - Gross Trailer Weight) and tongue weight your motorhome can safely handle. The Trailblazer's weight, fully loaded, will need to be well below these limits.
* The Trailblazer's weight: You'll need to determine the actual weight of your Trailblazer. This can vary depending on options, fuel level, and cargo. You can find an estimate in the owner's manual or online resources, but weighing it at a truck stop scale is the most accurate method.
* Towing method: How will you tow the Trailblazer? Will it be on a dolly (towing only the rear wheels) or a flatbed trailer (towing all four wheels)? Using a dolly typically requires less towing capacity than using a flatbed. You also need to consider if the Trailblazer is compatible with your chosen towing method. A 4WD vehicle may require additional considerations for flat towing.
* Trailblazer's braking system: When towing a vehicle, proper braking is critical. You'll likely need a braking system installed on the Trailblazer (like a supplemental braking system) to help control it during stops. This adds to the overall weight of the towing setup.
* Your state's laws: Check your state's regulations regarding towing a vehicle behind a motorhome. There might be limitations on size or weight.
In short: It's *possible* to tow a 2004 Chevy Trailblazer, but you *must* check your motorhome's towing capacity and ensure the Trailblazer's weight, along with any necessary towing equipment, is well within those limits. Failing to do so could be dangerous and potentially illegal. Consult a towing professional if you have any doubts.
