Tongue weight you posted means nothing if that is the factory unloaded weight. A properly balanced travel trailer (for stable towing) will have a tongue weight equal to around 13 percent of the loaded weight of the trailer.
What is the gvwr of the trailer? What ever this number is, multiply that by 0.13 and that is a good idea what the tongue will weigh after you load up and head down the road. If you assess properly you will determine that is likely too much trailer for you truck, max tow or not. Payload of the truck is the killer.
Do yourself a favor and pick a lighter trailer (7000 gvwr or less) or go with a 3/4 or 1 ton truck.
Take it from me, I learned the hard way.
