Towing
I have a 2011 Silvarado 2500HD crew / LS 6.0 / 6L90E. I need to tow a 10,000# trailer 1,200 miles. Will it handle it? FYI: I have a weight-distributing / say-control hitch system.

Ur truck will pull the load but probably not very much in overdrive. The 6.0 will be mighty thirsty under that amount of load. I`ve pulled 12,000 with an 08 GMC with a 5.3. Stopping will be a problem if you don`t have trailer brakes. Keep plenty of distance between you and anything ahead.
