We did it
We sold our tow vehicle. We have a 2013 Premier 32bh and our 2005 Chevy Silverado 1500 just wasn't quite cutting the mustard. It towed just fine as long as the road was flat. We decided that we bet...

I think you may be off a little here too. That looks to be a dry weight for that trailer. My 31' Premier weighs 6400lbs dry but is nearly 8000lbs once loaded. I suspect you'd be closer to that too.
...which is why a 2005 half ton was not cutting it.
Diesels get picky in that time frame. 2008 mandated new emmissions requirements and systems. Some people favor the prior, some the newer. I'm not sure I could stomach Ford's 6.4L from that time, and certainly not a 6.0L.
How many non towing miles with this be used for each year? If you were happy with the prior Chevy, how about a 2007.5+ GM HD gasser? 6.0L+ 6-spd rocks!
