You've got the payload capacity for it. Only concern is the horsepower, and that's only a personal preference.

Some people have a conniption fit if their engine turns more than 2000RPM, and go ballistic if it shifts out of overdrive.

With a 6400lb (really 7500lb+ loaded), your 5.7 is going to be spending a lot of time in 3rd (direct) turning close to 3000RPMs on the hills.

It will get the job done, just maybe not as fast as a diesel.
