Towing 7300 pounds with a 1/2 ton Hemi....a-ok??

I am thinking about trading my 3/4 ton "rough rider" for a new 1500 Ram with a 3.93 rear end and towing package. Our trailer weight is 7300 pounds dry, and we pack light, so we are looking around 8000...

Well now this is interesting as everyone is talking about the payload capacity and I have not seen one little word about the Brakes...

Personally I would also consider the braking capacity as well since you will be pulling that much weight.
Trailer barkaes stop the trailer. Truck brakes stop the truck.
