Is anyone towing with an older pickup truck.
A few years ago I purchased a 1999 GMC Sierra heavy half ton, (sometimes referred to as lite ¾ ton) Z71 4x4. Since that time, I’ve completed the restoration process the previous owner had started...

The newer trucks all have far better towing and cargo capabilities than those of 15-20 years ago. I had 2500 Ram that seemed a beast in its day, today some would call it underpowered.
Since your truck is basically done, and you have the trailer already, try getting out of Florida some. A trip up to the mountains in western NC or Va will give you an idea of how the truck will do for longer trips including some mountains. I have a feeling you'll want a little more ooomph, but, since you already have it, give it a shot and enjoy what you rebuilt/restored with your own hands.
