Just getting started
Newbie here, not just to the forums but all the way around. I wasn't sure where this post best fit or the best title for it so I hope it is fine here. Quick background: I live in the Dallas, TX are...

Excellent information, thank you Roy!
Looks like I don't have the brake controller inside the truck, but I see plenty of options online for one and I'm no stranger to that sort of install on vehicles so shouldn't be too bad. Plus, there is a electric brake wiring harness in the glovebox the I am assuming is for just such an occasion. I do have both 7-pin and 4-pin at the rear.
I know the setup is going to be right at the upper limit of the truck capacity. I've got a rated tow capacity of 10.6k and as long as I keep it as dry as possible for the return, I should be under max capacity. I'm sure normal weekend getaway use will be perfectly fine down here in Texas but I will have to take it easy getting it here for sure.
Good call on the mirrors, too! I didn't even think about that. Never needed tow mirrors for the boats and utility trailers so it wasn't even a thought.
I also didn't think about having paperwork with me. I have it here at the house, but that's not going to help me on the road. I'll have to make sure I put a copy in the truck.
