You've got a pretty long trailer that will catch a lot of wind. Also, the center of gravity on the trailer is higher up. It looks like it is an all aluminum (frame and all) trailer, so unless you are really loading the trailer down it shouldn't be a weight issue. In windy situations, I've noticed 2 things with the type trailer you have. The front v-shaped style acts very funny in the wind and, of course, being a big enclosed trailer it catches side-wind any way.
Personally, if you going to pull a trailer, the air springs are a must because it keeps the truck level. If pulling in hilly terrain, a power programmer, tow/haul mode and leaving it in 3rd works best for me. I have pulled a little over 9500lbs with no problems. If you pull often though, like Phil said, it's not the best tow vehicle.
It does OK but you just can't compare it to a Power Stroke SuperDuty or a Duramax 2500.
