Our TT is 5300 lbs as shipped, 7500 GVWR. It's actual weight is in the neighborhood of 6400. I tow with an '09 silverado. I had an '05 silverado when we got the trailer. It really struggled with the 4 speed. We needed a crew cab as the extended cab was getting snug, so we ended up with the '09. The 6 speed was night and day with the same 3.42 ratio. The truck handles the trailer very well. Now with that being said, I don't think I would put the weight you are considering behind my truck. We looked at the Colemans, and really liked them, but they are heavy. Find something smaller/lighter, you'll enjoy the ride much more.
