When we were first married we pulled a 35 foot Kencraft trailer with a 1972 Ford LTD. We have no problems, that 400 CUI engine ran like a top. We should have had a tranny cooler on it as the fluid got too hot and spilled out the fill spout, but that was the only problem. You are talking about a trailer that maxed out at a 1000 pounds less than your max towing capacity. You will be fine, just do not tow it at 70 and you will be fine. Things can get out of hand at 70 too fast for my liking. So I recommend 60, that is what we towed all our trailers at and now drive the MH at that speed also. We pass many stations that others doing 70 are stopping at, Like the extra MPGs at slower speeds. We have all the time in the world and see no reason to watch the scenery speed by. If you have to drive 70 to get done all the things you want to do, your list is toooooooooooo long, cut it down and enjoy what you can do. As our signature says, Stop and smell the roses, you will remember your trips more fondly, and return rested and not needing another vacation to get over your vacation. When you are 70, you will not remember all the places you hurried through, only those that you took time to savor.
Best of luck and keep on camping.
