Magneride towing experiences

[FrankG158]

Hey you all,

Just bought a 2024 Tahoe with Magneride and max trailering package. Was looking to hear how the towing is going with this setup when it doesn’t have the air ride in the rear anymore.

Thanks for any info/stories. We are typically towing about 6600lbs.

You probably will wish you had ordered the air suspension, going to have some sag. Suggest using a WD hitch to minimize it. Will tow just fine, but will have some rear sag.

I'm sure air ride is awesome. My '22 doesn't have it. Do I wish I had it? Nope! The results below speak for themselves. Tows my 24' trailer with ease. The key is to get a quality WDH.

My '23 Premier has magneride and max towing but no air ride and I don't want a WD hitch. It tows ok but for me , the suspension is too soft for truly great towing. I "feel" the trailer back there and I get 1 1/2" drop when it's attached. On the plus side, the 5.3 has plenty of power and after lots of tows, I don't notice it anymore.

Why wouldn’t you want a WD hitch? It literally solves the squat issue and eliminates sway if setup properly.

WD hitch makes the ride nicer for sure, even with our small 3800lbs travel trailer the “tugging” much less with WDH and very little sag (420lbs on the tail)

because it’s a lighter trailer went with andersen wdh, has anti sway system baked in but the short winnebago tandem axle trailers are super stable so not critical.

Certainly wish I’d gone with air suspension but not for the towing. ride probably much better.
