You are going to need to weigh it and get the important pin /hitch weight.
Then ask yourself if you want to be close or even over the payload of the truck,and remember that is a static weight ,now imagine at 60 MPH and the trailer heaving up and down.
Even if you make it work it will be close and then you face the prospect of telling the DW "no put that back" its going to over load the truck- not a relaxing vacation - at least for me.
Pulling the load is easy ,carrying is the task.
Even so short trips on the flat lands will be your future ,long distance or mountains will not be fun.
IMHO
