Sorry that I have been so slow about getting back to you all---We have been looking hard at different trailers. I really value your input. We are now looking at trailers that are 28ft or less and with a dry weight of 5200 lbs or less. Based on your input that is where I ended up. I feel like I can control the gross weight and keep it around 6500 lbs. Like I said you all have been great. Am I closer to the trucks capability?

My opinion is worth what you pay for it but I say you will be fine for power. Just be sure the hitch is set-up properly and watch your payload after you deduct the tounge wt.
I wouldn't hesitate to pull that weight with the drive train but don't be afraid to let it rev a little. 4k rpms won't hurt a thing.
