Welcome to the forum and congrats on the new trailer.

When looking for a truck keep in mind that you will need a substantial tow vehicle. The weight of that trailer is 10,995 gvw with a dry hitch of 835. You will need more than a 1/2 ton to carry it safely and conveniently (be able to carry what you want). Also, my personal guideline is that you want/need a diesel for anything over 10,000 lbs. A gas engine can pull it, but despite what anyone says, when you are over 10k you are going to really work the engine when traversing mountains and hills - no matter which gas engine you have. Good luck in finding the right one. If you have questions ask away and someone will definitely give you their opinion.
