You could get away with towing that much if it was a short trip-40 miles-on a level hy you were very familiar with.
It would be pretty dangerous to try to tow that much in hills of coming down an overpass.
The motor is the least of your problems-the 4.3 could pull 8000 lbs(very slowly)- it is the brakes and general handling that would be dangerous.
You need a big heavy duty pickup to safely tow 8000 lbs any distance.
