Personally, without the towing package and without a full setup of electronic trailer brakes with controller on something that big I wouldn't think about it even if empty here in the flatlands of FL. By the time you load that thing up with all your gear for the trip you are going to well exceed the load limits for the vehicle let alone overtaxing the cooling, transmission and brakes with every hill you go up or down.

Do yourself a favor and rent something capable of performing the work needed.
