OK, I see the OP stated a few pages back that the 7Klbs they quoted is dry weight. That will put the trailer at approx. 8200lbs ready to travel, that should give you a TW of around 1200lbs (12.5%). You may feel underpowered, but properly setup the truck will handle it.
x2!
Maybe not the best combo but it should "handle" the load without being as loose as the OP states it is.
Plain and simple it is not hooked up right.
Scaled weight, a tape measure, a set of wrenches and the WDH instructions should get the load under control.
