We were quite surprised to find out that our 2005 chevy 2500hd (6 liter gas, 4.10), with a towing package can only tow 9900lbs.
The problem is that back 9 years ago, trucks really did not have high payload capacities like they do today. So you have two choices.
Upgrade the truck to a newer model that will increase tow/payload capacity.
Or else buy a Travel Trailer that will have less tongue weight. Although you will be limited to about 9,000 pounds tow weight.
Let me also say that you are wise to ask before you make a mistake.
