Will it pull my trailer?
I am looking for a new/used truck to pull my travel trailer. I have a Keystone Passport Ml199 that weights 3800 lbs empty. I would like to get decent gas mileage since it will be an every day driver...

I had a 1999 4.3 and iirc the 5.3 got 1 mpg better. I'd don't know about the later models on that issue. I also had a 2013 5.3 with 9700 lb rating. I had a cap and the bed loaded plus tongue weight maxed it out at 1750 payload.
I pulled a 4500 lb TT and it did well. I wouldn't want any less but it wasn't bad to drive. It could get up and didn't wear you out. You want to fall on the side of a little bit of over kill vs being a pita.
Engine size, axle ratio, payload.
