I used to drive tow trucks too.
If I had that deal going and only a 1/2 ton rig I'd use it to go get it for sure.
As for doing any extensive traveling with it, it's a bad plan. Too much trailer and not enough truck.
It will tow it, but 1/2 tons lack the heavy duty drivetrain parts to survive tugging heavy weight up mountains and such. Your transmission is going to be badly overworked.
At bare minimum I'd install a trans temperature gauge and avoid cooking it.
I'm betting you don't have 4.10 gears. You'll want to shift down on the hills and rev it, and don't floor it.
If the trailer weight you posted is the manufacturer's claim - not an actual scale reading - add at least 1000 pounds to that number to get closer to reality.
