Can I safely tow this?

My wife and I are new to RVing and we're considering buying a used 2013 Passport Elite 23RB. The trailer's dry weight is 4,620 lbs.

I'd like to use my existing 2006 Toyota Tundra to tow it. Below are its specs

2006 Toyota Access cab 4X4
Mileage: 60,000 miles
Engine 4.7L Gas V8
Horsepower 271 @ 5400 RPM
Torque 313 @ 3400 RPM
GVWR is 12,000 lbs
The truck weighs 5000 lbs
Max tongue wt: 700 lbs
The GWR of the truck is 6300 lbs,
GAWR-Frt is 3500 lbs
GAWR-Rear is 3650.
According the manual the vehicle weight capacity is 1355 lbs

I'm uncertain if my truck can safely tow this trailer. What are you thoughts?

Lastly we are thinking that we'd use this trailer only as a "starter" for a year of so, just to test the waters. If we enjoy it as much as we think we will, we plan to upgrade both TT and TV, going with a 5th wheel and 3/4 or 1 ton truck.


Thanks
