My opinion is don't pull a 8300lb (plus) GW trailer with a half ton truck, as you're inviting trouble. Just don't do it, unless you're destination is the local camp ground.

My Laredo, towed by a three quarter ton with WD hitch & sway control just went through Chicago on I-90, 18 wheeler's on both sides, mid afternoon traffic, alot of wind and we had no problem (thank God).

Your cargo, (wife & kids) are to precious to take that chance....DON'T DO IT !!!
