Your truck is rated to pull 9800, your TT is rated at 9975. I'm sure it is fine on the flats, but if you pull on the hills a supercharger or newer diesel would make your towing experience much better....that is a BIG trailer @ 35.5 ft and towing with only 300hp and 360 tq.
Good thing the wife is on board, if you can afford it, go for it!
Who know's, might keep it and just keep my butt out of the mountains from now on!

If you want a Dmax, look at a 2007 LBZ.
