Where did you get the numbers for the trailer? I have a 2014 Jayco 32BHDS and dry weight (just weighed a couple of days ago) is 8520 (metal sides, not fiberglass) completely empty. I have a 2015 F250 6.7L 4x4 crew cab. I am a gambling person, so if I were in your shoes, I would give it a shot. The problem you will have is going up/down hills. Flat, you will probably be ok. That 6.0 is going to be screaming up those hills. Most will tell you not to do it. Here are my numbers from my 2005 Chevy and then just a few days ago with my new 2015 Ford...
