As someone whose pulled a hybrid for over 10 years, you might be fine, as the newer gen 4.3 v-6 is a strong engine.
You need to post more info, especially the truck's specs, payload capacity and factory tow package or not.
Also make, model and year of the hybrid.
I posted most of the truck specs in my original topic. It's a 2014 Silverado 1500 4 wheel drive double-cab, (not crew-cab) with the 4.3 L V6 and six speed automatic, and a 3.42 axle ratio.

He formally towed this with a Chevy Tahoe V8, I believe.
what's its payload capacity? it's on the driver's door yellow sticker.
it says "passengers and cargo should not exceed xxxxlbs."
