Is the 2500 a new one? What does the label on the door post list as Gross Axle Weights? What is the Tow Rating on the truck? What does your truck weigh ready to tow?

Looking at the Trailer Life 2011 tow guide, assuming you have a 2500 CC standard bed, AND a diesel: Max trailer wt = 16,700, so you are ok there.

The weight on the rear axle is where you are probably going to be way over with the probably 3000lb+ pin weight of the new trailer.

Being done all the time, you just need to be aware of your situation.
