I'm not the heavy duty police. There are enough problems pulling a trailer without having to wonder if it is strong enough. If I had to decide whether to use a 7000 or a 10000, I would pick the 10000 -- but my 1/2 ton is not heavy enough (power is marginal, transmission and rear axle are barely adequate) to pull an M on a 3000 lb/10000 GVW trailer, so I don't pull M's. A Super H is all my truck wants, and I'm not sure I'm ever going to do that again, as I don't want to have to buy a new transmission.

My point is, someone with no experience is an accident waiting to happen. If you feel safe, go for it, but I hope I never meet you on the highway.
