There is no way that I would tow an 11,000 lb trailer with a 1/2 ton truck. It may have the power to actually pull the load but the brakes and suspension wont be up to the task. Your best bet for a trailer that heavy is another dually or spend a little money on your existing truck to make it look and drive like new again. You just cant beat a dually diesel for the job. I dont think you would ever get 300,000 miles of life from a V-6 towing that kind of load.
