I know you have your answer, but had to get my 2 cents in. I owned a 2014 Siverado 1500 work truck 4.3 V6 with tow package. In 2017 bought a Coleman 192RD 5654 gvw. I thought the truck would pull it okay. It did pretty good in flat terrains but when we hit North FL it was struggling up the hills, I could reach speeds up to about 50 mph uphill. We planned to go to the mountains and decided the truck would never handle it. I now have a 2017 Ford F250. A word of advice, no matter what truck you have, when going up steep grades keep the rpms low.
