If you continue to pull that much weight with that 1/2 ton truck, be sure to change the grease in the rear end regularly, as the gears in these lighter trucks are not very heavy and will fail if you do a lot of towing of that trailer. That's why 3/4 and 1 ton trucks are rated for the heavier trailers, as they have heavy components that will last under load.
