No matter what you'll have minimum 1600 pounds pin weight. Which is going to push your trucks limits if you have more than driver and one passanger.

Don't understand you statement, if OP has 2838# of payload, and the pin is 1,600#, that leaves 1,238# for other stuff, that is a lot of other stuff.!
To the OP.
2006, should have a yellow payload sticker on the drivers door pillar, did you get the 2,838# form that sticker? Well if you did, you should be able to safely tow the 5er you have posted.
Russ, donn0128 has not been making any sense. It is best to just ignore his weight related posts.
The OP has what is a 3/4 ton truck, going by his numbers.
You should not have a problem carrying the pin wt of the FW in question, even if loaded to the FW GVWR. You likely have the 6.0 engine, and with the 4.10 gearing, you should have power to pull it as well.
If unsure of payload, or axle wts, it is always best to weigh the truck, camp ready, full of fuel, gear, and passengers.
IMO, this truck, and FW is going to work.
