- I have a 2002 Chevy 1500 with the 5.3. It is just okay pulling my enclosed 18 foot trailer. If I had to do it over I would go with a bigger engine. Bob Davis Mt. Dora, FL 62TR4racer 67.5 Datsun2000 6

- I'll take a wild guess that you have an open trailer. The difference between an open trailer and an enclosed trailer is quite substantial. I just bought a Pace 20 foot enclosed trailer and the empty
