We pull a 24' enclosed trailer with a 88 GMC 3/4ton 4X4 15,000mile 350ci , with Edelbrock Multi-Point fuel injection, headers, edelbrock cam, and hi-po cat with 3" exhaust and Flowmaster muffs, Automatic trans.
The truck weighs slightly over 6900lbs unloaded, and with the truck connected to our fully loaded trailer they have a combined weight of 17,000lbs plus or minus a 1000lbs depending on how much I decided to haul to a show.
Top speed flat ground with a weight distribution hitch and F rated tires is about 80-85 depending on the wind, 0-60 in about 40seconds, heavy mountain grade 40-45mph in 2nd.
Compared to 0-60 in about 8seconds, and a top speed of over 110mph unloaded grade or not.
That should give you a rough idea.
You will want a weight distribution receiver hitch without a doubt though. The Super Sunday Swap meet is this Sunday at the State fair grounds Pavilons, I buy my weight distribution receiver hitch from a dealer there for $250 which gives you a adjustable height receiver, both weight distribution bars, trailer brackets, hardware to install, and a pry bar.
