My camper is 7250 dry, 8600 gvwr, with a tongue of 900 lbs.
I will be pulling it with a 2013 Silverado 1500 that has the following (in no particular order):
GU6 3:42 rear axle
K5L Heavy-Duty Trailering Package
KC4 COOLING HEAVY DUTY ENG OIL
G80 Eaton G80 locking rear differential
C5W GVW RATING 7,000 LBS
KNP Cooling, external transmission oil cooler
JL4 StabiliTrak, stability control system
MYC Transmission, 6-speed automatic
VR4 TRAILER HITCH WEIGHT DISTRIBUTING PLATFORM
Z82 Trailering Provisions HD
JF3 BRAKE VAC POWER, 17 DISC/DRUM, W/ABS, 7,000 LBS
It does have an integrated brake controller.
FWIW, now that it's daylight I went out and took a pic of my 2012 Silverado's RPO code sticker and it matches every item in your RPO code list. The only difference is mine doesn't have an integrated GM brake controller, I use a superlative Tekonsha P3 instead, otherwise it would appear your 2013 Silvy is much the same as my 2012 with which I wouldn't be comfortable towing any trailer weighing any more than 6000 lbs loaded & ready to camp, based on scale weight measurements, the weight calculations I've done, and my real world experience in towing full height travel trailers since 2006 with 3 different variations of GM's 1/2 ton 5.3L truck platform.
