I wouldn't do that. It's just not a tow vehicle for real trailers. And that's a real trailer. I'd consider a F150 for that trailer. If it was spec'd well with tow package. Half tons are pretty weak.
Little suvs and trucks have grossly overrated tow capacities.
Towing a trailer once a year and parking it, is vastly different than traveling with that trailer, often, in rain and snow.
A gas F250 would be a great choice, and wouldn't even know that a trailer that light, was even there. In fact, it might payoff to pick out a heavier trailer at that point. 5-6000#.
For real travel, no excuses, you want to stay under half your GVWR and GCVWR. My trucks rated for 12,500# towing. 3600# cargo.
So a 23' tandem axle trailer is just lovely.

We're mostly just base camping and boondocking. Ohio overlanding is gravel roads and improvised campsites at best. Boondocking is just as fun.
