Way, way too much trailer for that truck. You will hate the combination.
Yeah pretty much spot on. Especially given you have zero towing experience or mechanical aptitude. Good thing you’re asking questions before purchasing.
To break it down more, chassis will handle that much trailer fine with proper mods.
4.7 and 3.55s will be a turd on anything but flat low altitude traveling.
I’d tow that all day with your truck from a safety standpoint (including trailer brakes and airbags and a wdh with the squishy coil rear end). I’d balk most at the power.
BUT it depends on your intended use. Short day trips to campgrounds in the flatlands, letter rip. X country, and mountains? Nope
