A friend of mine regularly hauls around his #17,000 bulldozer behind his 1
ton dually pickup after having put 2 yards of gravel in the dump box. Top
speed is like 45, and I won't mention the gas milage! Seems to me my 3/4
ton suburban had a towed load rating of #10,000. Sounds to me like you
should be ok.
