Towing an enclosed cargo trailer or travel trailer is not the same as a boat. Weight hurts on hills and accelerating, but maintaining highway speeds is all about aerodynamics. Regardless, 7k is the happy limit for most half tons with flat fronts. Use a good weight distribution hitch, keep it out of overdrive, and enjoy.

I pull a 7000k 8.5x18' enclosed flat front trailer with no problem, my equipment is a 06 fx4 5.4 screw. my mods are a gryphon tunes and ofcourse I use the towing tune when pulling it, a jlt air intake and an aftermarket exhaust and the tekonsha prodigy brake controller. the gpm do suck, about 6 mpg when is at max and 9-10 when is empty both tested at 60 mph. I am looking to install air bags since it will squat with that amount of weight.

Get WD first. The rear axle is probably overloaded. Air bags does not change how much weight is on the rear axle. You need more weight on the front axle which is what the WD hitch does. It also offers more control with say.
