Until a year ago we had a 1997 Dodge Dakota v6 manual along with the 2002 Chevy 1500HD crew cab truck. The Chevy towed the TM and the Dakota towed an 18 foot ATV trailer with a loaded weight of about 2,000 pounds. The Dakota also had two motorcycles (dirt bikes) in the bed.
The Dakota was able to pull it and stop it, but it sagged a lot. For various reasons, we bout a 2008 GMC 2500HD long bed and got rid of the Dakota.
I am a big fan of towing with a truck that is big enough taht I do not need a WD hitch. My guess is that you will likely find out that the Dakota can tow the TM, but you will likely need a WD hitch.
Maybe someone else has more specific information than my guess.
