Towing Advice - Dakota and Coachman Apex/Nano

Hi all!

I wanted to get some towing advice - I'm looking to pull a 2016 Coachman Apex Nano. The Trailer specs are:

Hitch Weight: 456 Pounds
UVW: 3,710
GVWR: 6,000

My Tow Vehicle:

2003 Dodge Dakota, 3.55 gears, WD Hitch/sway bar, Brake Controller, 4.7 V8, Quad Cab.

Does anyone foresee an issue with my truck being able to pull this trailer?

Thanks in advance!

    As long what ever the TT and TV are loaded with don't exceed the TV ratings, GCVWR, etc. I have the full size version of yours in 2008 Ram. 7200# for the truck and it's junk + DW and myself, the trailer fully loaded was 3680# last time we had it on the CAT scales. Might be a little tail wagging the dog with the TT loaded though.
