To be safe, use 20% of the GVWR of the Arctic Fox to determine the pin weight. That puts you at about 2700lbs. Check the sticker on your truck's door jamb if it's a later model truck for the payload rating of the truck. Consider the weight of the hitch, passengers and other cargo in the bed along with the pin weight of the trailer.
FWIW, my SRW 3500 truck has 3900lbs payload rating and my older AF (they got heavier in 2013 when they went with wide body) has a lighter pin weight of about 2400lbs (20% of 12000lbs GVWR). With a light Andersen hitch, I have no problem handling this weight with my SRW truck.
