keystone bullet 33'

we have an opportunity to purchase a bullet trailer for a good price but have questions about towing a 33' trailer. Lots have been discussed with weight but not as much on length. the TV will be a:
07 silverado 1500 5300LBS
GVWR 6800lbs, GAWR FRT 3600, gawr rr 3950, 5.3 engine, z85 towing pack(trans cooler, hitch, wiring, towing mode trans) 3.73 final drive gear 265/70 tires 145" wheel base. Bilstein shocks and brakes are maintained regularly as with other fluids. Max listed towing weight is 7700 and max total GVW is 13,000.
The real weight of the trailer loaded with stuff should be about 6600. A weight distribution bar and sway bar will be used. we will mostly be towing on flat ground for a few years less than 400 miles.
Should I be concerned about the length of the trailer as much as weight?

Thanks for providing us with some information about your prospective purchase of the Bullet and your tow vehicle. Any specific questions you have with regard to this combination, please place them in either the Towing section or the Tow Vehicle category - whichever best suits your question.

Welcome, BTW, to the forum.

Moderator's note: Old Texas has reposted this in the Towing section with a question about whether the '07 Silverado 1500 will be able to safely pull this unit.
