Legion,
I have no trouble with my 4.2 5-speed pulling my wife's horses. Up over the mountain is usually 3 rd gear for the most part and, with the horses we usually don't get over 55mph. (don't want to have to brake suddenly & break legs or anything.) If you have the factory 'trailer wiring' package, it is likely you also have a transmission oil cooler.
"There is the flat four-pronged connector for the lights and a round connector that I assume is for trailer brakes."
You might have two kinds of connectors, there. One the flat 4-pin, for small trailers with no brakes, the other round with 6 or 7 pins for larger trailers with brakes. The hitch place can straighten you out on them.
Make sure you have about 500 lbs of the weight on the tongue when you are towing. You should get along OK.
Now, backing up should be fun the first time you try. Can I come & watch? (Sorry, that wasn't nice. Sorry you have to make this trip.)
Good luck.
Les
