Big difference in moving a trailer and towing a trailer.
Your truck isn't rated to tow much weight. BTDT.
My first tow vehicle was marginal at best, then I towed my camper
to the Smoky Mt's. Going north from Chattanooga, I started up the Mt.
going 65. I was going less than 20 when I got to the top...
People were passing me blowing their horns and shooting us a Bird.
I came home from that trip and went shopping for a Heavy Duty truck.
Lesson learned.
I bought a 3/4 ton and got used to parking 'Out where the big fish swim'.
It ain't crowded out there...
My advice is use enough truck.
