Looking at GM specs for your 1500 truck with the max tow package with the 10900 tow rating shows a 7600 GVWR and a uprated RAWR which I couldn't find but a couple of years ago it was in the 4400-4600 RAWR range.
The 5.3 cranks out 355 hp/383 tq along with the 3.73 rear axle and the 6L80E tranny. You sure won't have any issues pulling GMs 10900 lb tow rating .....just watch those rear axle weights (RAWR) and especially those P tires. Have fun on your trip.
