Newbie looking for easy to pull trailer 28-30'.
Need it for long term missions work camps all over US. Want to be able to pull it with a 1500 Silverado. And any helpful information would be great. Moderately priced, used, trailer would be needed.

Had a 2009 Silverado with the 5.3 V8, 3.42 axle ratios and pulled a KZ Coyote CL180 weighing 3850 lbs. The truck handled that camper ok but it did a lot of shifting up & down to do so. It was acceptable but was never real happy about the way the pickup truck handled the towing....(snip)... on level ground the Silverado did fine but on hills I was not liking it.
My exact experience and thoughts pulling our 5000lb 26BH with the 2007 Silverado 1500 5.3 I sold...it just didn't seem like it was enough truck for the task. A co-worker pulls his 26BH effortlessly with an F150 Ecoboost but I opted for a 2500hd gasser and love the way it handles and pulls....no more white knuckle steering for me.
