Will it tow it? Yes.....Will it stop it? Yes....Will you be happy at those weights with that truck? Very doubtful. We traded a 2005 GMC with the 5.3L and 3.73 gears for our current truck and I would not have been happy towing those weights with it. You will find that your truck actually weighs around 5600#-5800#, which does not leave much payload. Yes, you will need a WDH, if not for the utility trailer, then for the travel trailer. However there is more to a WDH than just installing it and hooking it up. It has to be set up PROPERLY, or it will be as dangerous as not having one.
Good luck in your venture and I know what you mean about hating to leave Alaska, after the years I spent there in the military.
