That's why I said ESTIMATED. The weight of 7384 that I quoted is from media.gm.com. I know the weight of my 2007 because I have weighed it before. It is just a hair over 7000 pounds. I believe that a 2015 could be 384 pounds heavier than mine, but I wouldn't believe it if it was much higher than that. My point still remains the same though. The OP has more than enough truck to tow his trailer. The comments others have made stating he doesn't is just plain nonsense.

If the OP would look at his door sticker he will find John’s estimate is very close. It is unlikely that truck has a payload rating over 2200 pounds, most likely less. Even better he should do as suggested and weigh it so he knows exactly what it can carry.

So just to be clear, you think OP’s truck is 900 pounds(or more) heavier than mine(even though they are both Chevy 2500HD crew cab standard bed 4x4 Duramax diesels)?

OP’s truck has a GVWR of 10k. Subtract 2200 and you get= 7800.

My truck has a GVWR of 9,200. Subtract what my door sticker says (2319) and you get= 6881. And like I said earlier, my actual weigh is a hair over 7k.

That is a 918 pound difference on the same configuration truck, only difference is age. I’m sorry, but I don’t agree. That’s why I said earlier that I DO believe it could 300-400 heavier. But not 918.
