tow rigs

Deuces up to 2007 are rated for towing up to 6600 pounds--and they can and will pull it, I've been doing it for the past two years. They are happier on flat roads, but we've pulled the travel trailer thru the mountains going to Canada and the deuce will do it, you just have to slow down.
As it turns out, our trailer's axles aren't heavy duty and didn't like being towed fast; we destroyed both axles going to Canada when I first learned that I could go 65-70 with it, but light weight axles aren't built to go that fast that long (it has to do with all the twisty roads and flexing with a loaded trailer, whooda thunk).
To say the deuce is not made for towing is an incorrect statement. We bought ours knowing we'd be towing, so I made sure it had the air suspension, and it's worked out extremely well. I love the flexibility of being able to raise/lower the a$s of the truck when loading/unloading the trailer, especially when not on flat/level ground. That's not to mention how nice the ride is when fully loaded. I would tow any car behind the deuce with the right trailer/gear as long as I am within the weight rating. It's not exactly the perfect truck for the job, but it will still do the job very comfortably. The deuce is extremely comfortable to drive long distance when loaded up.
Make sure you've got a good solid stabilizer set-up for the trailer as well. Don't get cheap and buy the dangly chain set-up, pay extra and get the good solid bars from the hitch to the trailer---it's very well worth it.

I towed my Z06 on a very heavy equipment trailer a few times when I had my 2006..... total trailer weight was over 6000lbs. It pulled it pretty good but remember Im in Illinois and its flat as can be here. I definately knew the trailer was back there but in no way did the truck struggle. I also have a Haulmark low hauler (low roof profile) enclosed trailer with dual axle and it measures 8x13 for hauling motorcycles and whatever else. That trailer also pulled very nicely behind the 2006.

I can without doubt say that my 2008 is much better suited for towing. My buddy's Duramax had an issue with it's brakes last year so we used my truck to haul his 32' twin big block offshore boat on a triple axle trailer down to Lake Michigan.... we figured loaded with 110 gallons of fuel, gear, boat and trailer was tipping the scales near 9,000lbs. The H2 pulled it very well to the point I was actually very surprised. It was about 100 miles round trip and I still got 9+ mpgs which isnt bad in my opinion for a trailer with that weight. It was the middle of summer and we hit some downtown Chicago stop/go traffic with the A/C cranking and the tranny or engine temps never shot above normal operating range.

Keep in mind its not just the weight when you talking about a high profile travel/camper trailer, you have to figure in a lot of wind resistance and that is the killer at highway speeds as it can make your trailer much heavier than it actually is to pull.

I think you will be OK with your rig providing that you take it easy while in tow, use your tow/haul setting and keep a close eye on your trans/engine temps. I would also install an external trans cooler to help keep the trans temps lower.
