Pulling with 1/2 ton
Looking for feedback on trying to pull a rockwood ultra lite 26’ with a 2014 z71 Ltd 4wd, with 3:42 rear end. Dry weight of the trailer is 6300lbs. Any advice?

In reference specifically to half ton towing, why do people say, "use the max trailer weight?"
Some trailers have 3000 lbs of cargo capacity (Who's going to use all that?!). Some have under a 1000.
Even with excessive amounts of tools, backup parts, winter supplies, summer supplies, extra battery, solar panels, various added accessories, food, 50 gallons of water, grill, camp stove, camp table, camp chairs, cast iron pots and pans, and assorted other sundries, I can't seem to get over about 1500 lbs of stuff in my trailer.
I don't think you will find a trailer that can be towed by a 1/2 ton with 3K carrying capacity. 1500 seems more the norm (and I've been looking at this lately).
And I just found one, so ppbbbtttt!!!! to me.
