Towing a Light Weight Travel Trailer

[wmgeorge64]

So I towed fine with my 2006 5.3 1500 Silverado, in fact towed a lightweight 17 ft fiberglass Casita all the way to Alaska and back.  That truck did ok.,

Now with my 2014 with the same engine, but the wimpy 6 speed and towing about the same weight  camper, under 3300 lbs dry and maybe 3700 with some water and some cargo in the trailer.

Advise or concerns?

I've had no issues towing that weight around with my 2017 DC 1500 LT with 5.3, 6 Speed and 3.42.

There is nothing wimpy about your six speed, imo.  It has a tow-haul mode which will enhance your trailer towing experience.  Also, the engine in your '06 has the same displacement number as your '14 but they are not the same engine. Your '14 will do better with less fuel.
