Gosh, it sounds like we can only do a pop up then. That wasn't on our radar because of the humidity here.
Not at all ... I think I said several pages ago that based on my experience in towing for quite a few years now with a GM 5.3L (2006 Silverado, 2005 Avalanche) that a travel trailer weighing up to about 6000 lbs loaded and ready to camp should be quite doable for your truck, even though we still don't have enough specifics about your particular truck to say with absolute certainty. One advantage you do have is your truck is equipped with (I assume) GM's newer narrow ratio 6 spd which makes for easier towing than the older wide ratio 4-spd I have ... however, since we don't know (unless I've missed it in previous posts) your truck's axle ratio it's difficult to say just how much of an advantage this 6 spd will be for towing. I know, these are all "details", but unfortunately these details are all really important when it comes to towing any full height trailer ... overlook any and you could be wishing later you hadn't made the choices you did. It now sounds like a broken record but the place to start is to go weigh your truck and do the math, just as I described earlier.
