Welcome to the forum!!
When these hot V6's started getting put in the full size trucks I did a lot of research and even went so far as to drive them all.
What I found was that the tow ratings for these V6's vary greatly simply based on the rear axle ratio.
Do you happen to know if you have a 3.42 or a 3.23, also what is your truck cab and bed configuration.
Your biggest enemy is going to be aerodynamics not so much weight.
I recommend going with a lower overall profile trailer with a rounded or angled front end.
Something like the Apex line of trailer would be a pretty good match for the 3.42 rear axle 4.3 v6's.
If you have the 3.23... all is not lost you just have a lighter weight trailer to consider.
Thanks!

I have the 3.42 with a tow rating of 7600. I am looking for something that is more wind friendly for sure. Thanks guys
