Towing 5th wheel with 2015 Silverado 1500?

Crew cab, 6.5' box, 5.3 Ecotec with 3.73 gear & max trailering package. Anyone have issues towing 9,000lbs with 1,800lbs hitch weight? Never towed a 5'er & Chevrolet doesn't publish specs for, nor do they recommend, towing one. Looking for input from those with experience. Basically wondering if I should stick with my travel trailer or can I safely consider a 5th wheel. Thanks for any & all feedback.

My '02 D-max is maxed out, and probably a bit over on sticker ratings (but not tires), with my 11,300 GVW FW with a very light pin weight, when I'm running heavy. I know I'm 1800-2000 lbs on the pin at GVW, and there's no way I'd tow a FW with 1800 lbs =dry= pin with any 1/2 ton...on the highway. I've towed near-20,000 lb fertilizer tanks with a '48 GMC "half ton"...at 30 mph on farm roads. :-)
