You've gotten great advice already. This honestly sounds to me like another one of those salesmen who simply looked at one number, looked at another, and simply said "Oh, don't worry, your truck can pull that with no problem!" Way too much trailer for that truck. Problem is not just pulling, but also stopping. Keep that in mind as well. I'm pulling with a 1/2 ton truck as well and looked long and hard to find a 32' that weighed less than 5,000 lbs dry. It's what makes me feel the most comfortable pulling. I don't want to run out of capacity before I even start adding things and people. With our setup, even though we truly are WAY within specs, I can tell you that on grades, the truck knows I've got a long trailer behind me.
