I feel confident and safe towing with my 2500 Silverado....

You might want to check that hitch scale - real quick. I have a 331RL as well. My trailer weighs on avg. 12,7xx give or take (maybe a little more once I throw in another 80lbs of wood pellets
). My pin comes in at 21% generally; 2650-2700lbs. If "loaded up" you will be getting close to that if not over - if you're really "loaded" (I use approx. 1/2 of my carrying capacity) you will really be over. Heck, the DRY pin weight published by Keystone for the trailer is 2265 lbs. !!! Find a scale....and I'd be thinking about another truck; I refused to even look at the 331RL when I had a 2500....with a 3100 payload, not 2700.
