IMO, yes, you can tow that trailer "safely".
However, I think your truck and you will not be happy when towing it. I know I wasn't when towing a 7X14 box trailer with a Dodge Ram 1500 with the 360 engine and 3.55 differentials. On a hilly stretch of I-90, that poor truck was shifting constantly, even with OD locked out. I sold the 1500 and bought the truck in my sig. I rarely have to shift down now. I am much happier now when towing.
