HELP! Did I buy a trailer that I can't pull????

I understand that just asking this question really shines a light on how much of an idiot I am. That being said, I'm going to ask anyways. I started shopping for my first travel trailer a few months...

The 5.3 with the 3.08 is not a towing beast but I think you will be fine. Just take your time and enjoy the trips you take. Personally, I think manufacturers rate the capabilities of their vehicles on the low side just to protect themselves. I had a Chevy 5.3 with a 3.08 and it towed my wife's ski boat decent and it was pretty big and heavy.
