How well will a 97 dakota w/V8 tow 6k lbs?

I have a 97 dakota w/ a V8 and just over 100k miles. Just curious how well it would pull my car and trailor that weigh in around 6000lbs.

The trailor has electric brakes and I will be using a controller as well.

Long as you got a good set of tires keep your distance from cars and your fine. You'll pull no problem. Max load being 6700lbs your good to go.
