If I'm not mistaken, the XLite 24RLS is a travel trailer with a GVWR of 7,200# and a tongue weight of 680#.
Depending on the specifics of Fishawks' GMC 1500, it may well be a very good match. I peeked at GMC's website for specs, and they are all over the place depending on engine, body style, bed length, rear axle gearing, etc.
I would not have hesitated to tow a trailer like that with my '98 Dodge Ram 1500 King Cab, short bed, 5.2 L V-8. It's about as large as I would pushed the 1500, but it would work pretty well. The '98 5.2 was a bit lacking in power in the mountains. The 5.9 would have been a better choice all around.
