The trailer alone is 100 lbs above your trucks capacity. With your extra gear and everything else, I would say NO! You are way past what your truck is capable of. There are more considerations than a trans cooler and rear spring rates. If you want to tow something that big, you need a V8.

Depending what kind of terrain your expectinmg to pull it over. But pulling is not the only thing, you will eventually need to stop.
