Welcome aboard! And kudos for even asking the question. I think you’re going to find you don’t have enough truck for that trailer. Loaded pin weight on that 5er will be around 3000lbs. Add hitch, people, and other misc. gear and you will need a truck payload rating of at least 3500 lbs to have a safe margin. The sticker inside your driver’s door should tell you how much additional weight your truck is rated for…”passengers and cargo not to exceed xxxx lbs”, or something to that affect.
You will likely be around 1000+ Lbs over your trucks legal limit.
