Should I tow a 30' 7" 5820lb trailer with 2005 Yukon Denali XL?

Hi all, I'm looking for anyone that has had experience with my vehicle or just has a good general opinion of whether or not I should consider buying a camper that weights 5,820lbs dry. My Vehicle:...

Thanks all.

I did calculations on a site that takes in to account the trailer tongue weight, my rear axle specs/weight, GVWR and about 8 other factors.

I think with a 15% buffer it said I could safely tow a trailer that is 5600lbs. So if I'm being super cautious I may just want to find a smaller trailer if I don't want to change my vehicle (bummer).

Thanks for all of the input.
