Towed my 5600? pound travel trailer with an 850 lb motorcycle in the bed to Arizona and back no problems. I have a tranny cooler in addition to the radiator cooler and electric brake controller on mine. Also have a 5.3 and 4l60e if that makes a difference with 4.56 gears. Mines a leaf spring truck, D60 rear. All stock springs, rebuilt brakes by me. 68 C20. Just got back from Baton Rouge after towing trailer down and back also. No problems whatsoever. With the bigger trailer I would go with weight distributing hitch and sway control though. I even used my cruise control on trip to Arizona and back. It handled great even in the winds and mountains. Just inspect your suspension good. I did.
