Welcome to the forum John. Yes, your truck will safely handle your trailer with room to spare. We have virtually the same trailer, 2013 3100RL and pull it with a 2004 Chevy crew cab short box which is the same truck as yours. Mine is an early 2004 which means that it is prior to the emissions laws that went to effect for anything built after January 1, 2014. The only modification I made to the truck was to install a set of Timbren overloads to eliminate sag which began to show up after several years of towing due to spring fatigue. The truck and trailer ride level with the Timbrens. We are snowbirds and use ours about 6 months out of the year and we have never approached the GVWR of the trailer and I weigh it frequently on the truck scales of the trucking company I work for occasionally. You don't need to carry your whole house to live comfortably. Hook it up and enjoy!
