towing tt
 
Ok....I need some opinions. I kno pulling tt has been talked about to death and then some. But I just want to kno what all yall think bout what imabout to do.
I have a 2013 Silverado 1500 crew cab. 5.3 with 6 speed auto trans. I have a 2.5 level kit on my truck. 10" wide mickey thompson classic wheels. I put the stock Bridgestone dueler a/t rubbers on they are the z71 factory rubbers...265-65-18.
I just bought a 5100 pound dry weight travel trailer. Loaded itd prolly b about 6k. My gvwr is 7k. Axle weight rating is 3950 front and back. Gcwv is 15k according to owners manual.
Just wondering what yall think...will my truck be just dogging it down the road or will it tow the tt good n safe? Have a equalizer hitch also will b putting on.
And people total weight for my family is 750 pounds. If im missing any info..let me kno.

It should tow fine, but won't get out of it's own way in a power sense. Do you know what gears you have in it?

I have 3:42 gears. I have my build sheet.
