    You probably could but it'll be quite a strain on the engine IMO, personally I wouldn't... Get a weight distributing hitch if you do and it'll be better.

    Does your truck have tow pkg? does the trailer have brakes? do you have brake controller? answer no to any of the above don't tow. jus reread post you have tow pkg if it is a rental trailer it will have surge brakes your good to go.
