Kinda depends on what you'll be presented with in terms of topography. From where I live to where I store my boat/to where the launch ramp is, is right around 5mi +/-, but full of very steep hills......ups and downs. I wouldn't even consider using my '00 4WD Chevy 1500 w/ tow package to tow my 30' Formula.
If everything was dead flat I would maybe consider it, but still doubtful.

Tow in 3rd gear- not drive if you have an automatic. The OD gear in these trucks are not meant for that load. If you have a manual trans stick to 4th agin not the OD gear.
You are at the capacity of that truck.
