Re: Towing questions
You may want to look into a weight distributing hitch. They will take weight off of the rear axle of the truck and put more on the front axle. I used one of these for years on a Chevy Astro towing a travel trailer.
With that, a minimum hitch should be a Class 3. Class 4 or 5 would be better. I'm not sure what comes on trucks these days. There should be a label on the hitch with that info.
If the trailer has hydraulic brakes, you are covered there. If they are electric, you will need a brake controller mentioned above. Those work well.
I posted around the same time you did. For the electric brakes, you will see a Blue wire if equipped. That's for the trailer brakes. Some trucks may come prewired for brakes.
