Definitely do-able. Your max tow rating with that drivetrain is 10,000 lbs. GCWR is probably 16,000. Our rig is 8500 lbs loaded, 1200 lbs on the tongue, and with 4 passengers and full fuel we are right at the 8600 GVWR. Managing tongue weight to stay under the GVWR of the burb is an issue. If you plan on towing with more than 4 passengers or pack lots of cargo in the rear I would say get a smaller trailer.
Two things, first replace the OEM receiver on the burb,m it flexes and can stress crack when running with a WD under a heavy load like this and 2 get a good hitch like the Hensley or ProPride 3P to manage the trailer. The burb has a 130" wheelbase, same as a reg cab long bed pickup.
Trailer in my sig is 32' to give you an idea.
