I had a 2007 Silverado 1500, 5.3, 3.42 (2WD) I pulled our Jayco with the first year. Our TT is about 5500 lbs loaded and I hated the way that truck pulled. The 5.3 was constantly shifting gears in the rolling hills of central Missouri. The truck had to really rev high to make power but I couldn't take it anymore and sold it for my 2500HD gasser. My 2500 is way older but the 6.0 makes the pull easier and the heavier suspension made a world of difference in handling. I'm upgrading again in the spring to a 6 speed 2500 gasser.
