Will it tow it?  Yes absolutely.  Will you be happy pulling it?  That is a question only you can answer.  Consider going up a mountain grade at 20 MPH, or white knuckle ride going down the other side.  Or god forbid a panic stop and you being pushed through an intersection.
Personally I think it just too much for a 1/2 ton.  But thats only my opinion.
Agree 100%
I had almost the same truck as my first TV, pulling our TT that was more in the 6,000 range. It towed it, but not great. I was always a little anxious, and the truck didn't pull hills very well. I think the gear ratio is definitely the limiting factor. I upgraded to a 3/4 ton diesel and no worries. :D
