the truck is good for about 15000 so you should be good, that being said it is dry weight, so it may end up being over 15000 when its all loaded up. i would give it a try, and possibly invest in a transmission temperature gauge just to be safe.
make sure the trucks and trailers brakes are good, and plan ahead a lot when driving, it will take a much longer time to stop then usual, you have to picture that the trailer weighs about 75% more then the truck itself does.
