6k, it must be a big boat! My gut feeling is that you will be fine pulling it with either truck, and I always err on the side of caution.
Squint and you can read it
Edit by me;
I forgot to mention...Brakes! On a load that big you will need brakes on the trailer (at least one axle). That means you will need wiring and a electric brake controler. Pulling it is the easy part, stopping it is the challenge.

The trailer has 3 axles, one with brakes, I have a 350 with 4:10's, so I guess the big thing is to get this monster to the scales to see what the actuall total weight is
