I'm guessing with that low a rating it probably doesn't have the tow package. Any half ton truck with a tow package should have no problem towing a 4700 dry weight trailer. Figure its close to 6000 lbs loaded, I don't see why that Silverado wouldn't do just fine. Unless you are towing in extreme heat and lots of hills, you should be fine.
If that Chevy is a screaming deal you might want to see if you can add a trans cooler, brake controller and possibly an oil cooler. It won't change your tow ratings, but it will make you a lot more comfortable in extreme conditions.
I'm sure a lot of idiots on here would love to talk you into a 1 ton dually diesel for 6000 lbs, but that is moronic. Any modern half ton will handle it with ease.
