If your #'s are correct you should be fine. A 4000 lb tractor and a 2000 lb trailer will put you at 6000 lbs GVW. With 2- 3500 lb axles you will be at 7000 GVWR so you have 1000 lbs to spare. I will assume you have a extended cab truck. If so it will weigh in the neighborhood of 4800 lbs. Add this to you 6000 lb trailer you are at 10800 GCVW; and you said your truck has a GCWR of 13000 lbs so you are 2200 under that. Get a 16 ft trailer so you can move the load to adjust your tongue weight. Get brakes on all wheels. Dove tail and hyd lift are personal options and only you can justify the extra money if you want these items. Can I open the BIG can of worms and say now that you are over 10,000 lbs gross weight you are commercial and are subject to the rules for such.
