You have a 1/2 ton truck.
I have been towing for over 40 years and I would never consider towing a 38'; 8K lbs dry weight TT with a half ton truck.
When this thing is loaded you are likely going to be over 10 thousand LBS. That's not going to cut it on payload with a 1/2 ton truck.
One of two things need to happen:
#1. Get a bigger truck along with your new trailer.
OR
#2. Get a WAY smaller trailer to tow with the truck you have.
Good luck and happy new RVing!
