Only way to know is take your truck to a scale and weigh it, then do the math.
Say truck weighs 8000lbs.
GCWR of truck is 20000. 20000-8000=12000lbs. This is the total amount of weight you can tow and stay within the trucks GCWR.
GVWR of truck is 9000. 9000-8000=1000lbs. This is the total amount of weight the truck can carry, I.E. passengers, pin weight etc.
I don't know your weights or your ratings so you have to plug in your own numbers.
If you don't care about tow ratings, that truck will 100% tow that trailer.
I moved up to a F350 Dually back in 2006 to avoid any of these issues. I have been able to hook up to any 5th wheel toy hauler I have wanted to since then and not worry.
