HELP! Did I buy a trailer that I can't pull????

I understand that just asking this question really shines a light on how much of an idiot I am. That being said, I'm going to ask anyways. I started shopping for my first travel trailer a few months...

Empty, It will pull fine. The only real issue is if you load the trailer close to its max of 5k, and put a bunch of people and carry on stuff in the burb. Keep it reasonable and you have a good combination. I would take the trailer home, on the way stop at a truck stop and weigh it (with a full tank of fuel). That will give you an idea of how much capacity you have left in the burbs axles.
