Can my truck tow this?

To provide some perspective the 9,400 tow rating is for a flatbed with 10% on the tongue, not for travel trailer that has more tongue weight and wind resistance.

Even at 13% of weight on the hitch you will be more than 20% over your receiver hitch rating. If your receiver fractures going over some train tracks it is going to be ugly.

Suspect your suspension will be too soft to handle this well which will lead to porpoising and sway. You have type P tires? I would want LTs for that much weight.

And if a frog had wings it wouldn't bump it's ass when it hops....but who cares...
OMG, the onslaught of rvnut ninnies continues.
If you had half a clue what you were talking about, you might be dangerous or you might actually realize that you're wrong and just sit quietly.
What's the hitch rating for a new 1/2 ton GM ? Go find it and then show your math to support your I'll informed , afraid of your own shadow claim.
While you're at it, tell the class about all the fractured hitch receivers you've experienced or seen that support your paranoia. Only thing fractured is your thought process.
I will agree LT tires are a nice upgrade, albeit also not a mandatory necessity. Google what wdhs do for rear axle weights while you're researching cracked trailer hitches.
Oh and the 75000 miles on my current 1/2 ton work truck and it's P rated tires and pixy sticks hitch receiver haven't seemed to get your memo about fracturing or blowing up or swaying. But maybe the pintle hook on the 26' tag trailer I tow around sometimes is easier on those components....lol.
Or maybe the dozens of other 1/2 ton trucks that I and millions of trucks others have actually been using as real work trucks that tow heavy stuff are anomalies and they should fall apart and run off the road.
Kinda sorry for the rant, but not really....
