I think you should hook it up and take it for a tow and see how the setup feels. Any reputable trailer dealer will allow you to do this, then you can see for your self. You will never know for sure without trying it.
Little things can make a difference. For example, boogie_4wheel had basically the same truck I have now, and it looks like he was pulling the same weight with it. He seems to have been unhappy with the setup. I with the similar truck and similar weighted trailer love my setup. There must be something in the details making the difference even though overall we were running about the same. So yours may tow that weight great like I experience or it may not be all that good. If it isn't that great, could you get by for a year doing it until you can upgrade? I would say yes.
