You did a little home work here which is good. The only realy questions here are where do you plan to tow it (how far and flat or hilly) and the axle ratio you have because the axle ratio can make or break you with towing. If the option code in glove bo us GU4 that is a

3.08 and that is not good, If it is a GU6, that is a 3.42 and that is the minimum you want here for your planed load and a GT4 which is a 3.73 is better still and you would do fine with that. Below is a link to some towing info I have put together.
