As stated no way!!!
tongue weight states 942 lbs.. After loading im sure would be up in the 1100lb area. Im sure you dont have enough payload for the truck.

Do you want to know what you can tow?
Post what the yellow sticker in the door states in regards to payload... Thats the deciding factor really..

Heres what you want..
Length: 36' 6"
GVWR: 9,740
Dry Weight: 7,734
Hitch Weight: 942
Here is the best you could get in a bunk house... Youll be comfortable with this. But get a trans cooler as large as you can fit, and get some sumo springs to help with sag..
Your TW will be up in the 750-800lb mark.
