Default RST and towing?

I have a 04 Sierra RST RCSB and my buddy is selling a 6x10 aluminum v-nose covered trailer for a great price. I am just curious I dont see any reason why my truck couldnt handle the trailer. All that would be in it are a few quads and a tool box. But it is a 9 hour ride for me to get the trailer here. Also my truck dosnt have a hitch but I should be able to use one off of a regualr sierra correct. Thanks

i would make sure you have a class 3 hitch not just a bumper hitch and yes your truck will pull it just fine

my truck pulled a 6,000 lb. ++ (i dont know exact weight but making guess) non v-nose covered trailer 60 mi. roundtrip everyday for about three years i have v6 base silverado without tow package we (dad and i) put a reese class III hitch on it and wired up the 7-pin harness and brake controller no problems yet (doesnt pull anymore he got a dmax) but i did get 10mpg with tow/haul on and in 3rd

A hitch setup like that one wont have any clearance issues with my roll pan correct.
