I have an 07 1500 chevy with the 5.3 and 3.73 gears. It knows it is back there. It tows relatively well considering what it is dragging down the road but it is a whole lot different than my older 5000lb trailer. I will be upgrading the truck in the next few years because this truck may be rated for 7500lbs but it isn't as safe, strong or prepared for the load that I'm towing.
Lucky you that you at least are running a 3.73 axle and not GM's much more common but non-tow friendly 3.42. One question though - is your '07 still running the older wide ratio 4-speed transmission as did my '06 Silvy or does it have the much more capable narrow ratio 6-speed? That alone would make for a huge improvement in towing capability, particularly if coupled to a 3.73 axle ratio.
