I pulled a 7400lb bobcat skid steer on a 16ft dual axle trailer one time with my fathers 1500 z71 but boy was it loaded down. picked the truck about 4 feet off the ground with suspension flexed all the way out when loading and unloading...

Yea....go ahead and do it......let us know how it goes. Maybe the wife could drive the truck......at least you'll have someone to blame when things go bad. Just kidding......wouldn't do it.

put something under the back of the trailer to keep from picking the truck off the ground

These guys seem to rate it at 6500# , with a 5.7.

Tow Capacity Rating Look Up by Trailers.com - Look Up Tow Vehicle Ratings and Tow Capacity

Guessing that is a 7,000# rated trailer, so you at least 2,000# over the trailer rating. Definitely a tire-killer, trailer wise, and you're gonna be beating up your truck, and overmatching your brakes.

Rgds, D.

dang I just looked at that.. doesn't look to good.. I may try to call a towing company and see what the rates are..
