The trailer weight is okay-- weight distribution hitch is purchased when
you get the trailer-- it's got bars that run back towards the trailer--
works like the arms on a wheel-barrel (displaces the weight of the
trailer along the entire frame of the truck, rather than the hitch--
something like that).
With 3.55 gears, don't even think of using your OD-- ever... and expect
to be pulling in the 60 mph range (3000 rpm).
Trailer brakes are a must... and if towing frequently... you might want
to think about dropping in some 3.92 or 4.10 gears (yep, front and
rear).
Enjoy!
