Good luck with that !!
I pull an empty 4100LB 17ft toy hauler 3 1/2 hours once a year to a car show, and it's not fun. I used to pull a 2500LB popup trailer and it was fine, but I would say that's the maximum. Even with the best brakes in the world and lots of power, the real problem is the 104" wheelbase that you can't do anything about. Someone mentioned your 2016 Silverado, but unless it's at least a 3/4 ton, it will be just as unsafe pulling 10000 lbs regardless what the dealer says it will pull.
