Will it you tow it yes, will the numbers work out, I will leave that response for someone else.
Will you be comfortable towing it? That's entirely up to your comfort level! I towed a similarly sized trailer with a 1500, it was not bad but you could not be in a hurry. I would not want to go on a long trip with my setup, after 5hrs the constant correcting the tugs and jerks had me exhausted but on say short trips of 200 miles or less I got along fine and all I did at that time. I was not scared to drive it but the expression I knew the trailer was behind me was completely understood, windy days of corse was worse but I did not experiance much pull when meeting or being passed by trucks.
The truck had Erated tires and an airlift 1000 kit installed, the airlift kit was the best investment. The hitch I used was a Reese dual cam system that I do not feel was ever installed properly. First time they never did much of the setup S test drives and the second time my truck was not even there lol. This was before I got to know these boards. Friend of mine uses the husky straight line, works very well but can be a pain to disconnect, makes a lot of noise on tight turns.
I did upgrade the truck, and camper 3 years later. I started to travel a lot more and as I mentioned above not something I was comfortable with the old setup doing, thus the upgrade.
