I am planning on towing a 6000 lb. trailer 3000 miles over the Rockies three times. any one towing with a GM 1500 5.03 motor and a 3.08 rear-end how well will this set up tow?

I think that would be a hard pull. I use to have the same set up and pulling up a little mountain here in Virgina could be a strain. I traded for a 2500HD with a 6.0 and a 410 gear. Pulls a lot easier with less strain on the motor, transmission and rear end. I thinks it is better to have more truck and less camper. Just my opinion I'm sure there will be those who disagree.
