All you have to do is weight the truck and do the math.

I use a dually for a 6k TT. No way would I tow a monster 5'r with a SRW. But that's me.

Weigh your truck and trailer then you'll know for sure.

Given that difference between your truck and the 3500 SRW model is the rear springs, put some air bags on it. Get weighed to make sure you are under the tire ratings, and do not go to BC Canada.
