Look at the sticker on your door jamb. Should tell you a lot more information about your specific truck

Look up the vehicle build sheet to find out what gearing it was built with:
(Type VIN in all capital letters)
With 3:73 that's going to be a lot of work for the engine and transmission. You'll definitely be running the engine up into the torque band of the engine (around 4K rpms) By the time the trailer is loaded it will be flirting with the upper limits of that combo.
