Can I tow a 6000lbs travel trailer (2009 Chevy Silverado Crew Cab)

I just bought a 24' 5th wheel and pulled it for the first time this week. I'm pretty much stock and it's pulls just fine and w plenty of extra.

I'm pulling a 26' 5er with a 2007 silverado 1500 crew cab sb. No with 84k miles.. Been doing it since it was new - never a problem. Going from Boston to Wyoming in 3 weeks.

Gonna bump this.

Just purchased a 02 Jayco kiwi 23b tt. Never towed with my truck before. looking at the codes I have z71, k5l, z82. I see it's got the 7 pin connector. I assume I should have zero issues hauling it. tt is only rated around 3800lbs. My only thought is the lack of brake controller.

edit...also, even though according to the book, the tow rating gets bumped to 9500lbs, the factory V5 class 3 hitch is still only rated for 6000lbs, no?
