I pull a 26ft gooseneck trailer hauling a 9500lb tractor with my 97 Chevy 1500 4x4. It has the 350 with automatic trany. Have made some 350 plus miles trip hauling my W-6 which wieghs around 6000. The 350 handles it if you take your time, 454 would be much better. I do have electic brakes on the trailer so that helps alot stopping. Wouldn't recomend hauling anything over 9500lbs with a 1/2. I finally found an old Ford one ton dually I use now. Truth be told I did have to put new bearings in the rear end. Have 86,000 on the pickup and the engine and trany seem to be holding up. As they say Chevy Tough.
