Instead, you have to calculate tongue weight. For safe trailer towing, you want 10% to 15% of the total trailer weight on the tongue. With the correct weight on the tongue, the rear axle GAWR and the total vehicle GVWR cannot be exceeded.

The GAWR and GVWR are fixed to the VIN. Any upgrades you've done will not change those numbers.

This is only from a legal standpoint. What's safe to tow is another matter entirely.
According to the door sticker, GVWR 5600. 3250 Front 3500 Rear

From what I can see on the GM Heritage website, curb weight was around 4100lbs with a split of 2600 front/1500 rear.
