Reality Check Please

I need some help deciding. I am looking at a Continental Cargo 38' Gooseneck trailer.

GVWR: 15,600 - I know this is more than my truck can handle, but I might be upgrading to a 350 in a few years. Plus don't 15k worth of stuff right now, but I might in the future.
Hitch weight: 1,364 - Could my truck handle that much on a gooser?

Other than that I am just looking for some real world opinions. Has anyone put anything that big and heavy on their truck? How did it work out? I've looked into Continental Cargo a bit and I can't find any really bad reviews. The trailer itself is a triple 5,200 lb torsion axle setup with cabinets and everything else...except a damn generator.

As far as my truck, I have an '11 250, 6.2, 3.73's(I know I suck ) Super Cab, SWB. I do have some power adding stuff like AFE Stage 2 intake, catback flowmaster, and a 5 star from Mike.

I would love some opinions about both pulling a trailer that big, and continental cargo. Thanks for your time. I really appreciate it.
