Yes, you’re good to go!
I believe the 2014’s are rated at:
397 hp, and 765 lbs torque. You can put 6,355 lbs in the bed, or pull a whapping 21,700 lbs.
I have a 2008, which is rated at:
365 hp, with 660 lbs torque. I can put 5,307 lbs in the bed, or pull 16,500 lbs.
I’ve been pulling a loaded Raptor 3602RL toyhauler and have done the I-8 west toward San Diego, I-10 east just outside Palm Springs, and I-5 north grapevine west of Lancaster in California, with no problems (during the summer heat).
You can pull, ANY rig you need (Just remember not to go to fast up the mountains, or the 18-wheelers will want to race when the road turns level again) :)
Note: Change the rubber value stems to steal on your trucks rims. If in heat, the rubber will get soft, and let air out (need to stay at 80psi).
