The truck will weight around 7,000# so that's around a 8,000# trailer. The TT will probably be a better option.
Those trucks actually specced out pretty good. GCVWR with the 7.5L, 4:10 axle and auto trans was 18,500. I had a '94 4WD F250 SuperCab and it only weighed 5500 pounds empty. No airbags, less body structure for crash protection, overall those trucks were much lighter than today's. IIRC his GVWR is probably 9K or 9200, but being 2WD his empty weight should only be around 6K. A 10K fiver with a 2K pin weight should not be an issue if the truck is in good shape mechanically.
