The TT in question has as GVWR of 8500 lbs. Typically travel trailers have a tongue weight equaling 10 to 13 % of trailer weight. Using worse case scenario of the trailer loaded weighing 8500, the tongue weight (13%) would be 1,105 lbs. This leaves 395 lbs for everything else loaded into the truck including hitch (100 lbs), passengers, bikes, firewood, tools, dog, toys, etc.
Keeping in mind that this trailer is 34' long and you would likely be at or exceeding payload of your truck. I would recommend smaller trailer or more truck. I didn't catch which axle you have but if 3:42 your transmission will spends a lot of time searching for the right gear.
Good luck and make sure that you do by our homework. Nothing is worse than dropping big bucks on the rv then realizing after ione trip that you need more truck.
Good luck
