Make sure tires, shocks and brakes are in good shape.

Drive no faster than 55 and keep the closest vehicle in front of you a dozen truck/trailer lengths between you.

If thats not enough, upgrade to a bigger truck.

I was in a similar spot and generally followed this advice. High load rating and high quality tires on both the truck and trailer, aired to full psi when towing. Lots of people cheap out on trailer tires, buy brand name trailer specific tires with an appropriate load rating and highway speed rating. If you have surge brakes, upgrade to an electric over hydraulic brake controller. Full electronic control of the brakes is huge when towing a heavy and long trailer. Otherwise drive carefully and you’ll be fine considering the limited distance.

I was in a similar situation several years ago with a boat trailer, I was just under the max tow rating but towing it about 5 hours each way through narrow, winding mountain roads. I had a 2013 F150 with the max tow package and an Ecoboost with tow tune and full bolts ons, the truck had more than enough power but there was always the sense of the cart pushing the horse. I pulled without issue for several years and then upgraded to an F250 diesel, which was life changing.
