I didn't see you list it...what's the payload of the truck.
If you are 9200 empty, I figure you are at least 11k loaded, so 1500 is a good first guess at tongue weight (actual would be better).
Add in the weight of you and your passngers plus misc stuff in the truck, that could easily be another 500lb.
Add in the ATV and you are likely pushing 3000lb payload which is more than a lot of 3/4 ton are rated for (check your door frame for actual).
If you check the actual numbers and it works, consider putting it in the truck backwards...I believe they are rear engine so backwards puts most of the ATV weight in front of the axle. But really it's a pretty marginal setup.
