Don't let the payload/weight police drag you down here. They will be along shortly to tell you that you need to go buy a 2500HD. "It's what they do". Some folks just like to rain on the parade and try to make you spend more money.

Count me in as one of the payload police. I wish I would have listened to them back when we bought our first trailer.
It's easy for some to take cheap shots when they have nothing better to offer. :R Numbers don't lie though and the reality is the vast majority of 1/2 ton trucks are pretty limited when it comes to payload capacity. :( If the OP's particular Silvy is running a 3.42 axle, the same axle I run in my own 2012 Silvy, then that certainly won't help. I'm hardly an "expert" but I have been towing with this GM configuration for over a decade now and am quite familiar with it's limitations.
