2014 Chevy Silverado 1500
Looking at trying to tow a 30BHS (type) travel trailer. Most of these types of trailers are coming in with a loaded weight of 9600 lbs (give or take). My eyes are starting to gloss over on the TV....

This is actually my favorite trailer (but may go a little shorter due to liking state parks):

Hitch Weight (lbs) 725
Dry Weight (lbs) 6,290
Cargo Capacity (lbs) 3235
However, I am reluctant to go to the 2500 due to gas costs (it would be a day to day commuter...45 miles/185 days per year)
Unless you literally pack your entire house I can't see how you could pack 3,200 lbs of gear. (assuming you are not a full-timer). With my wife and 4 kids age 15 to 2 we load about 1,200 lbs, which includes 36 gallons of water (about 300 lbs.). I would say you would be fine with that trailer and probably would by > 8,000 lbs. loaded. With 2,000 lbs payload I personally wouldn't worry.
