I think you'll be ok with the information I found trolling on the internet. Not great but not out of control.
Dry weight is 5000 lbs and a GVWR of 11000 lbs. Typical toyhauler. Your buddies 6700 lb load weight seems logical. That TH has a 110 gal water tank! So obviously don't fill it up. TH will have a heavy tongue weight until you put your toys in the back. Length of the trailer isn't bad but it sure is tall! You still need to keep a eye on that tongue weight with an 860 capacity.
As mentioned, get a really good WD hitch with built in sway control. Pump up the tire to max PSI, turn off the overdrive and stay below 65 mph.
Setting up the WD hitch correctly will be key. A lot of good video instruction here (see top of this forum)
