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.
Do yourself a favour ,measure your stopping distance without the trailer ,then again hooked up- the distance will be substantially longer.
Trailer brakes are a joke.
Even cold and perfectly adjusted .Size wize they wouldn't be used on a 70's econobox.
Warm them up a bit and all bets are off,I hope you never find out
trailer brakes do little more then keep it in line behind the TV.
