You would probably get more responses if you put it on the TOW VEHICLE forum instead of just toy haulers.
if going a tag trailer i would want to go with something smaller. i dont have alot of experience but at that length it will not be a great towing experience. my good friend had one about that length and could not go over 55 or the trailer would start swaying alot, also killed the gas mileage. and the gross weight of the tag is greater then what that truck is rated for. i have pretty much the same truck but an 09. my trailer is 31' long hitch to rear, with a gross weight of 10,900 dry its about 6800. i dont have any issues towing it but if i went any bigger i would want a 5th. just full of water you are almost 11,200lbs not including gas, gear and any toys. and that tongue weight is more than half the payload on the truck. in the end its your money and your choice.
