Well....it sounds like you are going to get the truck because you love it. Instead of asking everyone to say "it's a great truck, go get it", it sounds more like you are asking folks to say "it's a great combo, go for it" - maybe you want to look at something a little smaller.

The 6.2 will pull the trailer albeit struggling on hills and against heavy winds. The mileage will be poor - just a given with a heavier trailer and a gas engine. You will very possibly be over your payload; tongue weight will be around 900lbs + 100lbs or so for hitch to start = 1000lbs off payload. Max payload for truck may be only 1500lbs (look at sticker inside door to see) so that may be maxed out before you begin. The truck will probably have p rated tires and you will want to upgrade them more than likely if you go with the combo. You also need to know the rear axle ratio. Anything less than a 3.55 or so will result in a poor towing experience.
