2003 lance 1171 and 2017 Srw f350 am I asking for trouble?

I’m looking for real world experience. I just bought a 2017 srw 6.7 F350 diesel. A local guy has a 2003 lance 1171 with one slide I would like to buy. It’s 3700 lb dry weight. If it’s not glaring...

Hauling our 4,000 lb (wet) TC; only about 300 lbs went on the front axle IIRC. With our 24" hitch extension, about twice the trailer tongue weight also went on the rear axle.

We hauled it a lot of miles on SRW trucks, but it was not that fun to drive at interstate speeds. Then when we started also towing a 7,000 lb car hauler trailer, we bought a dually.
