Blt2ski is correct. you will need a truck with a bare minimum payload rating of over 2,500 lbs. for that trailer. Shop for a 2500 with a gas engine, or a 3500 with diesel. The 2500's with diesel option lose several hundred pounds of payload with the diesel engine and sticker GVWR's of around 10k for registration purposes. Your pin weight will push or exceed 2,000 lbs., then you have hitch weight and weight of everyone and everything in the truck added to that.
