Welcome to the forum. Sorry the news isn't what you were hoping. There's just no way I would pull that trailer with that truck. Aside from putting way too much weight on the back of that truck, it will feel like the tail is wagging the dog...or the trailer is driving the truck. You will hate it. You won't feel safe. You won't be safe. You will be an accident waiting to happen.

It's a job for a 1 ton truck. Nearly 12k lbs empty. Your pin weight is likely 2500 lbs-ish loaded and GVWR is likely 14k-ish, not to mention the 38'+ length. You'll want a truck that will handle that trailer, not the other way around.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but we would advise you toward safety. Good luck.
