towing trailer

I am in the process of setting up another crew- just purchased a new chevy2500HD 2wd w/6 liter v8, work truck. The truck is rated to tow over 10,000 lbs. I am a bit hesitant to tow anything close to 10,000 lbs with a pickup truck- only because I know how a pickup truck handles with a heavy trailer.

My partner, on the other hand, thinks it isn't a problem to tow a 8' wide x 20' long trailer with this truck. The trailer + load would probably be averaging 7000-8000 lbs, occasionally maxed out to 10,000 lbs.

Any opinions from you guys who haul large trailers with your pickup?
