Right Truck for the job?

I have a micro Minnie 22 foot trailer. I just got back from driving in mountainous area with wind, white knuckle driving. I just feel like the truck I was using just wasn't doing it's job.. of course we were told this truck would work. Perhaps we are a little naïve to trust. Perhaps it's me being to cautious. Any suggestions!
Truck is a GMC Canyon V6 (2017) tow capability 7,000

Micro Minnie GVWR 7,000 dry weight 3,700
2 axles. Thanks.

Any full size half ton with a tow package should handle your TT. My Jayco is heavier than yours dry, but has a much lower cargo capacity and tops out at 5500 lbs. My F-150 handles the load easily, and I wouldn't have any problem with your trailer either. Set it up right with a good WDH and you should be good with a 150/1500, or go 250/2500 if that's what makes you feel more comfortable.

I've been towing my 24' TT in moderate to strong winds every time we've had it out this year. While it's more fun when the wind doesn't blow, we don't get much choice out here on the prairie - towing in wind is a fact of life. Your Canyon just isn't big enough to dampen the bucking caused by the wind knocking your TT around.
