Older 5.3 were under powered compared to the '14 and up 5.3 with 355 hp and 383 torque with 6/8/10 speed trannies.
Wifes older '06 1500 5.3 with the 4 speed tranny chevy crew cab short bed Z71 3.73 gears would downshift on hills or fighting 35-40 mph head winds not towing.
She has the same truck in a 2016 model and its hands down a better towing platform. The new 5.3 has a lot more low end grunt and 5k-6k rpm hard pulling performance than the '06 for towing duties. And being a small block its not going to pull long steep grades in OD when towing in OD gears.
The OP didn't say but if the truck has the NHT tow packages its another big plus for towing duties.
Sounds like another good match.
