#4600 "tow rating" means you also don't really carry anything in the 'truck' either, so you might need to consider that too...
Also, a #3000 full sided TT is gonna have a lot more wind drag to it then say a #3000 pop up trailer..
Might want to check the 'trucks' front sq/ft area rating too..
Most full size trucks are something like 60 sq/ft of frontal area. (the front of the trailer exposed to the full brunt of the air).
Anyway, it's still a pretty small and "lite" trailer in the grand scheme of things and you'll get down the road.. Just be prepared for it to work a bit more than normal driving. (ie: lots more rpms and probably a lot of having to mat the gas pedal to the floor.)

you lost me with tow rating means I cant carry anything in the truck also??
