Your truck can tow 8500 lbs maybe
Can you tell us the curb weight of the truck and the gvwr. those are found on a sticker by the drivers door.
Subtract curb weight from gvwr for payload
A 9000 lb trailer has a hitch weight of at least 1200 lbs probably more like 1300 but let us say 1200. subtract that from payload what is left? Add up the weight of passengers and other stuff you plan to carry in the truck. If you have not reached a negative number you may be good to go. But that is with nothing iin the trailer, no water, fridge empty, no clothes
Please post the results
