Pull with a 1997 Chevy K2500 ( 4X4 ) Last of the Cheyenne series. Has the 5.7 liter. Used to be the old 350 me thinks. See signature. My hobby that I look at more than drive cause it is really only needed to tow the TM. That model only rated to tow 6000 lbs. Does fine with fully loaded truck towing TM but I did notice that at the high altitudes, above 10K, it does do some down shifting on the steep grades. Like all the way down to 2nd!...

Your rig should do fine. Mileage is much the same as MtnGuy depending on terrain.
