Your owners manual has some good info on towing i see . Did you know the stick shift is only rated to pull 3,000 the auto trans is rated at 4,500 .
Read it carefully and you will see what im saying about " perfect contditions " for there rating . Add one person , subtract that from the weight you can tow .

Hydrulic engagement , other words the auto is smooth to take off with . The stick is more harsh and the clutch would be short lived .

Perhpas as huck points out really its the person not the truck that cuases most trailer crashs .
Knowledge on the subject is your best prevention . Take time to learn how to properly tow somthing before you head out . If you have little experience in pulling trailers seek info first . A travel trailer should all ready be built to carry the correct tongue weight but loading a tralier such as a car hauler its up to you to get it right .

No, it's "the outdoor channel" just like the subject says ( http://www.outdoorchannel.com/ ). OLN is a separate station ( http://www.olntv.com/).
Do you and "Waiting on my Black H3" need reading lessons?
When in doubt, google it.

I'm confused about why people are saying the auto should only tow 3,000 pounds. I'm no expert, with years of towing experience as advertised by others here (well, except towing a fishing boat for the last 10 years, oh, and a quad trailer, oh yeah, and an occasional car hauler, and I guess I should include the 24' prowler camper trailer I pull every winter throught the Columbia River Gorge in Wa State).
BUT...I'll put my GM lawyer hat on for a moment.
<UL TYPE=SQUARE>Let's publish the H3 can tow 4,700lbs
Bob decides to tow a 4,500 lb trailer.
Bob wrecks and kills the son of a lawyer (Bob lives in California)
Said sad lawyer sues GM for $250 million in California and the jury decides to throw in an extra $100 million because they can.[/list]
Why would GM be stupid enough to put 4,700 lbs in the manual if there was even a small remote chance it was unsafe in any normal condition?
I can't think they would do that - so I think SAFE towing capacity comes solely down to the driver. I've got video of some jerkoff pulling a camper trailer in the snow backwards and upside down in the Blue Mtns of eastern Oregon - I passed him pulling a ~4k hunting boat with chains on (my Suburban, not the H3). I've pulled over the rated tow weight of the vehicle, but I do it slow and safe, not 60mph in the snow.

Your saying a 3,000 Travel trailer . Im not so worried about towing 3,000 lbs with the H 3 as i am the lenght the trailer is . Im guessing 24' or more ?
Thats what worries me on your question . Those have a tendency to sway , some trailers tow much better then others but one that tends to sway and weighs 3,000lb could put you in a situation for a nasty ride .
With my years of experinece id say around 3,500 should be max for a H3 that weighs 4,700 ?
They give you a rating which is all most equal to the weight of your H3 , that is never a good idea . Is the dog wagging the tail , or the tail wagging the dog at that point .

I am a towman , its my job . You wont see me towing 3,000 lb trailer behind my H3 for safty reasons .
Towing ability is set on any new vehicle with optimum conditions , in short there over rated .
This combination you speak of is ok for an experienced tower . some one who has knowledge of towing heavy stuff all the time . Other wise its the sort thing that keeps me in bussiness an able to write a check for my H 3
