Expert Reply:
Yes! With the TorkLift SuperHitch Original # TLC1208 installed on your 2013 Chevy Silverado 3500 and using the 48 inch SuperTruss extension # TLE1548 the hitch will have a capacity of 6,000 pounds gross trailer weight and 600 pounds tongue weight.
The estimated combined weight of your trailer loaded with the tractor is 5,000 pounds with a tongue weight that will likely be under 600 pounds so this set up will work for your application.
I also recommend TorkLift Wiring Harness Extension for 48" SuperTruss Hitch Extender - 7-Way RV Item # TLW6048 so you can easily plug the trailer into the truck when using the extension.
