I have a 2007 raptor 3712 and the tongue is a little over 3200 lbs.and the tailer weighs about 13700 unloaded. at one time I towed it with a 2004 gmc 3500 dually 410 gears. and also a 2005 ford 3500 SRW. The Ford would get pushed on occasion descending hills but otherwise towed fine. The GMC would tow and handled it fine with the exception of it had no guts to pass, or get back up to speed after someone did a break check in front of me. The 2000 will probably hold and move it, but it is asking allot to make the truck last real long towing those kind of weights. Your biggest concern will be the tire flex of a SRW and if you are going to be over their weight. If you have to do what you have to do, do it, but I would be looking for a newer tow vehicle with more capacity in the future.
