While I'm a newbie to TT's, I'm not a newbie to heavy hauling. I'll be pulling my TT with the rig in my sig line, which is more than capable of handling anything I can throw at it.

As long as the load is distributed correctly, you'll still have enough front braking power to be able to control it. You're not going fast anyway. And for the record, I have safely pulled in excess of 6K lbs with my 1/2 ton on multiple occasions. My 1 ton does it better, of course, but the 1/2 ton didn't back down.
