With that type of travel, personal opinion only, which comes from doing what your about to try, it will not work out well 90% of the time. Wind will make it so you just won't travel on those days, but even a calm day the moment you think this is not too bad you will be headed toward the ditch. I could drive 3hrs tops, then have to stop and rest, the constant battle behind the wheel was too much for me.

Again my experiance only but I am sure there are people towing more through the moutains with no trouble at all.

No way I'd want to do it with that truck. I had a 2008 Silverado Z-71, with 5.3 and 3.73. Payload was right at 1600 pounds. It was not a very comforting rig for pulling a 33' 6k lb trailer. The trailer you are talking about is 3 feet longer and 2k lb heavier.

Agreed, I think it is too much trailer for your truck

wont work

Really comes down to your comfort level and experience. You will get responses all over the map with some saying your way over and others who tow twice as much with no problems at all. If you bought it already, or really want it, nothing said here will change it.

Personal opinion having hauled less with the same, I don't think your going to have much fun traveling. If your not going to travel or move it only once in a while 50 miles you could live with it.

One more thing, if you relocate everything to the rear to try and make the tounge weight less you could set yourself up for a very bad experiance. Lack of tounge weight is the leading cause of sway, poorly balanced rv, your truck will not hold that trailer back if it starts to go bad. Your better off trying a WD antisway system to help balance and if your putting in airbags it will look fine.
