I've pulled our Jayco behind our 69 a couple of times. The old Chevy did ok, but the drum brakes and lack of power steering takes the fun out of it. When I pull with the GMC (duramax/allison) it makes for a much more relaxing trip. And of course there's no comparing the 350 to the Duramax. I feel very safe pulling with the Sierra. BUT, it's nice to know the old Chevy can still pull it's own weight.
