We have six kids, about the same ages in our 1999 Express 3500 5.7L V-8 3.73. We pull a 5000 pounds (unloaded) trailer just fine. I would definitely, though, want at least the 7.1L Chevy or the V-10 Ford with the weight you have. You really don't need a dually, though. Plenty of people are pulling similar rigs just fine, and your tongue weight is not horrible. Do remember, keep it out of overdrive when towing, and downshift in the mountains.
