    ummm yes? Even my ranger woulda pulled way more than that. your truck pulls like 6500 lbs total. your trailer is like maybe 3000 on the high end.

    It should so long as you don't over load the trailer.
    You'll need to know how much the trailer weighs and the weight of all the stuff in your TRUCK and and in the TRAILER. Do not go over 6,500 lbs and you'll be fine.

    I've found the closer you get to 4,000 lbs the less you will use "D".
    Drop it in 4 and leave it, other wise the truck will shift all the time. Shifting repeatedly is not good on the transmission. It builds heat and and heat kills transmissions.

    Do you have the towing package?

    What will the total load be (including trailer weight)?

    Does the trailer have electric brakes?
