It may pull it but if it isn't legal that will cost you.

Mine will too if I get a running start at the hill and maybe have to downshift..
If I get stopped on the hill and have to start again is when it takes a while...

I don't care. If it doesn't have the ratings you shouldn't pull it.

But you're telling me I'm not legal and don't know what I'm hauling or the weights, off the top of my head I can say I'm legal at at least 7,000 lbs. ,a truck and trailer wouldn't weigh that much..
