I hauled 6 1,000 pound round bales today , up and down very steep hills on a 2,500lb trailer with no problems at all , backs up perfect , but I also am very good with a clutch . My truck never gives me any problem backing up with a load even up a hill , unless it is muddy . lol

You will be fine towing that little load , just take it easy with it . Trailer brakes are a life saver by way ..
Theese v6's are pretty stout for what they are...but I would like to have more power...and yes, your right about trailer brakes being a life saver. lol
