I have no idea what full tow package means. If you have the 5.7L, towing package with 7-pin harness and transmission cooler, either 3.55 or 3.92 axle, then 6000 pounds dry is a good limit. If you have a crew cab, payload will likely be a limit well under the 8-10k+ tow rating. Check your driver's door for the tire and loading sticker for as equipped payload. About 10% of trailer weight will go on the truck's axles, plus the weight of your family and cargo in the bed.
