Don't forget the WD hitch will add around 100 pounds to the tongue as well.
I would think a trailer somewhere in the 7000 pound wet, fully packed for your trip is going to be all you will want. Others will say you can go over on the rear axle load and you probably can for awhile but it will be more stressfull and stopping a heavier load could be difficult.
A TT with a dry weight of near or under 6000 pounds will work. (!/2 ton truck doesn't like a fifth wheel even a little one., Yes we know, expensive mistake).
