I believe the truck is rated to pull 9,900 lbs. You should be fine.

Get a bigger truck or smaller trailer. I see too many half ton trucks pulling 5th wheel trailers. They aren't designed for it.

Your will be fine.Before i got rid of my 05 xlt,i was pulling a 8300pound trailer just fine.With no hesitation from my gears.I would recomend thoe getting a break controller to make it easeir on your truck.if you dont want to thoe,no biggie.You will be fine
