Had a change of plans, Want some opinions
My plan was to get a fifth wheel and pull with my '02 Extended Cab 3/4 ton chevy (6.0) and buy a newer truck later. This how now changed, since my car died recently, I had to get another daily driver...

Power wise, no problem.... The 3.31 gears will put you in 5th and 4th more often than not however...
I've got a 13 Eco with Max Tow and 3.73 gears and tow a little #5000 GVWR 22' TT... And I'm in 5th and 4th a lot too...
I know it's back there for sure, but it's a real easy tow.. So, I'm now spoiled in what is comfortable and what is not... This is after over 35 years of towing stuff over the years and being overloaded most of those times!
Anyway, the longer the trailer, the greater the lever.. Remember that saying about having a long enough lever, you can move the world?? Same deal with any towing combo.. I guess that's why pro football teams don't have #150 linemen?? ;)
Anyway, good luck with whatever you do.
