Congratulations on the new rig. I can't imagine Towing a TT that size without a WD hitch. I strongly recommend it especially while Towing with a 1/2 ton. The tongue weight of this trailer (around 1100 lbs loaded) along with cargo/passengers in the truck will likely significantly exceed your trucks payload rating. Also keep in mind the trailer is 37' long. Do you have 10ply load range E tires on the truck?
I'm not trying to bash your purchase but nothing is worse than a white knuckle experience on the trek to a relaxing trip. I have done that more times than I care to admit. You may find yourself upgrading to a 3/4 ton.
Btw welcome to the forum. Lots of good knowledge and forum etiquette here.
Steve.
