    Post your door sticker and the answer will come.

    Also dry weight does not mean much. Look at the gross weight for the trailer. You can probably guess 15% tongue weight on the gross number. That number comes out of your cargo capacity of the truck.

    I would say no, based on the length and weight. Just know a truck or tundra can pull anything but can you pull it safely as possible?

    Weight sounds fairly reasonable but it's long. I'm actually surprised a trailer that big is that light.

    If you're towing when it's windy, that trailer may throw you around.

    If this is a box trailer and you will be in a windy area I would seriously consider a propride or Hensley hitch.
