Looks like a nice tow vehicle. The tow guide says 9500 lbs max trailer weight with the 3.73 rear, which would put you in the neighborhood of 1250 lbs max tongue weight. My 2011 hitch maxes out at 1200 lbs tongue weight with weight distribution hitch.
If you are the same person that was planning on touring the country for a year, I would think real hard about loading a bike in and out of the pickup. Having loaded a few bikes in my day, it is not without risk. That said, perhaps a toy hauler would be best. I have never looked at toy haulers, but I suspect they run heavier than equivalent living space standard trailers. That 9500 lb towing capacity may not give you as many choices in toy haulers. All conjecture and opinion on my part, but I would definetly not want to load a bike in a pickup unless there were no other options!
