Tow rating depends mostly on gear ratio. Look on your glovebox RPO codes - do you have GT3 (3.42), GT4 (3.73) or GT5 (4.10)? If you have the 3.42 axle, let's just say that's not optimal for towing.
Don't overlook the rear axle weight rating. It's remarkably easy to overload the rear axle on a half-ton Burb. If you have a large family, you might be exceeding the cargo carrying capacity (the Burb's GVWR) and the rear axle weight rating.
You're probably ok, as long as you don't have the 3.42 axle.
