I don't know your old setup, but WD bars transfer the weight from pickup rear wheels onto trailer wheels.
So while your pickup will do just fine, your trailer might get screw up pretty bad.
Once you have it all hooked up, check the trailer axles weights.
Plenty of TC hauling trucks tow some weight behind them. This is my 3/4t SRW F250 with a 4000 lb TC and 7000 lb trailer on a 4500 mile trip from the Pacific Coast to the Mississippi River and back. 19K lbs GCW, 12.5k lb GVW, 8k lb RAW and 4.5k lb FAW. Yes, the trailer is using a WDH on an extension and the world did not come to end nor were there any mechanical complications on any of the 25k+ miles with this combination. On dry camp trips, the trailer will typically be provisioned 1000 lbs heavier once I add extra supplies and 84 additional gallons of fresh water...
