Are you towing the Chevelle on a car trailer or a travel trailer? The Chevelle on a open trailer is around 3800 lbs . I would also look at the size and weight ratio. For example if you are towing an enclosed trailer that is 24 ft long and you are using a Tahoe to tow it then the trailer will control the vehicle if you get into trouble even though the Tahoe is rated to tow it. For example my 24 ft enclosed trailer I used a F350 Ford 4 door diesel because the weight of the truck, bigger brakes and the mileage does not change even when I was towing or driving around town, plus the torgue it had. If you are using a open trailer for your car a good 4 door pickup F150, chevy 1500, or Dodge short bed (Not a fan of my company Dodge, has a Hemi great power but handle badly on the road) would work great, give room for at least 5 and plenty of room in the bed for all your items needed to carry along. Since you are talking only about 10k, around here that is at least a 10 year old truck, But you have Gary back there who might find you a great deal.
