I think you will be OK, just be sure you tow with your transmission in "tow mode". If your truck does not have the "tow mode" feature, then do not tow in over-drive.
We towed our first TT with a 1500 Chevy Suburban. The trailer was 5000 pounds dry. I destroyed my transmission because I towed in overdrive. I had a new transmission installed, but it never ran the same again. We soon traded for a heavier truck. Just be sure you tow in "Tow Mode" or "Drive", but not "overdrive".
