Your new heavy duty receiver is a good start, however, we need more info on your combination, they are not all created equal. Your experience/ability is key here, maybe more so than the combo.

the truck has air bags overload leafs, for the experience i have pulled boats with tandems and triples for Mich to N.C. for 20 years
all with surge brakes i all so manage the big trucks for a construction company

If the '01 is the same truck you used towing the boats, I would say you are good to go.

No it is not I just stated teading the rules the first truck was a 96 auto with ladder rack and tool boxs full 400k a few trans rebuilds not because of boat hauling 94 man never a problem 98.5 did just fine I am probably thinking to much because I know what I go through at work

I installed the Torklift Super Hitch. It has a 17,000 lbs capacity. Only problem is their powder coating is absolute crap. Less than 2 years and they are covered in rust. I would not recommend them if you care what your truck looks like. Btw, I live in Florida, nowhere near the beach, where rust is a non-issue.
