I pulled a 10K lb dry, estimated 11K 5th wheel from Indiana to San Francisco a year ago, through Denver, New Mexico, Colorado again, Utah twice, etc. It pulled fine. Ever go up/down a 9-degree mountain? I did. I was more nervous coming down than going up, without question. You won't go up a hill like that and hold 65, but 50? Probably.
But you're significantly heavier. I'd say it depends upon where you plan to go. Most people don't go that far or that often with their trailers. Me, I've gone over 30K miles in 5 years. I'm on the 3rd set of tires. If you are just going into a neighboring state, or over the the lake, etc I'd say you'll be fine. If you're touring the country, I'm not so sure.
