I believe that is too much tongue weight for a 1/2 ton truck. You will likely exceed your truck GVWR, even though the GVWR of the trailer is within the trucks safe tow limits. Will it pull it yes. Will you be comfortable driving it, likely not. The tongue weight for that trailer will be around 1,000 lbs loaded. Check the payload rating on the truck then add weight for passengers, gear in bed, hitch, etc. The difference will be what tongue weight should not exceed.
