It sounds like you have experience with a similarly rated 3500/350 vehicle.
Thanks!

would you be towing the trailer completely empty, option free, and dry ? and not putting anything othe rthan driver+passenger in the tow vehicle? you might be OK then. Note those dry weights are for the trailer with NO extras, just the most base model.
me, my trailer tends to be full of food, clothing, bedding, cooking gear, games, magazines and books when I travel, and my truck is often quite full of outdoor stuff like chairs, tables, awning, astronomy gear, etc. and I often have to fill up my water tanks and drive another 100 miles to where i'm setting up, if its remote and then drive it with full holding tanks 100 miles or whatever to find a dump station.
