and a good road service plan. I too think the truck is maxed out ,but I,m no expert.poor little six banger gonna work its heart out.
Oh please.....:R It's not 1995 when a "little six banger" had 150 horsepower and could barely pull 5000 pounds. This motor will pull wheel to wheel with any V8 available in a 150/1500 series truck. Watch a few videos, pulling 9000 pounds up a 7% grade at 60 mph is nothing to sneeze at. My 2000 7.3 diesel certainly won't do that.
After the OP sets up his trailer hopefully he will report back with weights and performance. I predict he will be under ratings on axles, although close to maximum GVWR. I think the truck will handle great with the hitch setup he is choosing, and will pull any freeway grade at the speed limit.
