You can figure on 18-22% of the trailer+trailer load will be on your truck. Weight your truck's rear axle with a full load of fuel and normal load that you would have while towing.

Take this number and add the afore mentioned pin weight and see if your tires(rated on the sidewall) will handle the weight. With stock tires 265/75/16 E I think your going to be very close or just a little over.

I'm handling more weight (gross+pin) on my '05 F350 SRW(275/70/18" E), with rating room to spare.

Good luck
