2015 1500 Crew Cab 4x4 V6 - Car Hauler?
Okay... so I'm curious, can the new V6 half ton legally and safely pull a 1500-2000lbs car hauler trailer with another 4000-4500lbs truck on it?

Basically I'm asking because I don't think I'll be afford a new Silverado but I am trying to try to consider it... Sick of fixing my 83 all the time.
My primary concern is the transmission in the 1500 might not hold up to towing a car hauler once in a while (not every day) especially because GM's light duty trannies of old don't like big weight (my 96 Yukon's 4L60E catastrophically failed for no reason other than moving a 4000-pound SUV around for 120k miles) maybe their newer ones are better, IDK. Their heavy duty transmissions are great, but the 6.0L gasser gets bad MPG and the Duramax is too expensive.
