Do you have the 6 cylinder motor? I had a 2011 with that gearing and those were the same specs I had for towing. I traded up to a 2019 Silverado last year with the new 3.23 gear ratio and 5.3 V-8 and it has capabilities of 9600 pounds towing, 15,000 GVWR. That's the minimum specs. It only goes up from there. That's why I wonder if you have the V-6

I have a 2019 Chev Silverado, same specs as your. Personally, I would not want to pull one of that size with my truck. Not saying it can't be done, but more to consider than just towing. I don't have a manual for mine, but the Chev service dept told me 7,500 max loaded to tow. I am towing about 5,000 with weight distribution/stabilizer. Enough for my truck. With your size family, weight adds up fast. I would like to put airbags on mine.
