With my 2000 Suburban 5.3L, 4:10 rear end, tow package, etc..etc. I am now towing a 26 foot (28'10") TT. Now I don't go many hilly places, but I did notice with the rounded front on this one that it tows easier than my 1000lb lighter 19 foot camper did.

Good luck, I think what you have will move the trailer where you need it, but not sure I'd want to travel far with that setup. Then again, many are braver than I. I prefer not to have a stressful drive.
fWIW, our camper is an amerilite 259BH. Lots of room, 5K dry weight. Big slide.
