I had a 2014 Silverado w/ 5.3L, 4.10 rear end, tow package, heavy duty front end, etc. and it was rated for 9100 lb towing capacity. Towed my camper (~ 6300lb 30' TT) a couple of times and immediately traded it for a 2500 RAM. Why? #1 my payload was maxed out before I was done loading bed, #2 the truck struggled on hills, it was not pleasant. Even after you examine all the numbers you may conclude you will be OK on paper but personally, I never would have towed my TT 1,000 miles with that Silverado.
I didn't realize chevy made a 4.10 rear end, all I saw on their website was 3.08 and 3.42.
:S 3.42, had the RAM rear end I wish I had on my mind.
Lol, same setup I have and pull my 29 ft. TT. While I don't get great gas mileage, it pulls fine for me. Could it be better? Yes. Will I buy a 2500 diesel next time? Yes. However, I'm not hitting the mountains just the hill country and for that it is doable.
