It will pull it but you may run out of payload. What is your trucks payload rating and what do you plan on carrying in it? We towed the truck in my sig for 2 years with a crewmax Tundra. 6400lbs dry, 7600lbs loaded. With a family of 4 on board we were on average about 400lbs over payload but under axle and tire ratings. Truck towed great, no problems pulling. Our next truck was a Ram 2500 5.7hemi. I thought it would be a big difference but the Tundra with its 4.30 rear gear and strong transmission pulled better. The 6.4hemi should have no problem with that trailer and have plenty of payload but I still read the common complaints about the transmission gear spacing. The 5.7 had the same transmission issue and so many problems that drove me crazy to the point I got rid of the truck.
