Getting truck to pull toy hauler
I recently purchased a 35' Wolf pack toy hauler and am now looking for a truck to pull it. I'm looking at a 2000 Chevrolet 2500 Silverado. I believe this will pull my trailer but am wondering if there...

From that era (GMT 800, 1999-2007 Classic) the the tow ratings are pretty low. The 8.1L with 4.10 axle I believe is only rated to tow 12000 pounds, which is likely not enough for your trailer. The 8.1L/3.73 is even lower, and no 6.0L. Of course, that also assumes he truck is in at least as good as new condition, which seems unlikely at 15+ years old.
For a bumper pull, the OEM receivers sucked. Plan for a Curt XD replacement.
You really are in single rear wheel 1-ton range for necessary payload and power wise, the 8.1L may be acceptable.
