My friend swears by the GM/Chevy 6.0 gas engine. He maintains it is a towing powerhouse.
Theoretically the truck should handle it, but from my experience you really need 3/4 ton diesel for any serious travelling. At minimum you should install a transmission cooler and make sure you have a GOOD hitch. Mine is a fifth wheel and I don't know a lot about ball hitches, but you want one that has some kind of sway control.
