Does the tow package on that truck include a transmission cooler ? And does that truck have a tow/haul transmission setting ? Those two items will help the transmission live . A weight distribution hitch will help the rear suspension carry the load . What is the ply rating of your tires ? I would go with 10 ply for some safety margin .
Does the trailer have brakes ? This is a must in my opinion. Towing safely is an accumulation of many things but the most important is stopping the rig safely in a panic situation . Any time the trailer/cargo weighs more than the tow vehicle there is potential for bad things to happen . Watching your speed and keeping distance ahead of you to traffic goes a long way to have a safe trip .
Your planned trip is short so I would say you will be OK. You will know after a few trips if you're comfortable with your setup . You certainly are at the limit and Tennessee is not a flat state . Be safe .
