Check brakes, check fluids, if you could, find a local person who rents out trailers.
Most trailers you get from rental places like U-Haul, Penske, Sunbelt, United are all surge brake trailers.
Surge brakes are nice for small trailers; but pulling something with a combined weight close to or over the curb weight of the truck is a recipe for disaster.
But echoing what everyone else says, keep it in 3rd unless you think the truck can old OD, got a trans temp gauge?
