Towing a Toy Hauler with my 2004 WJ

I have a 2004 GC 4.7l V8 without the factory tow package. It does have the power steering cooler.
I'm planning on towing a 3900 lbs Dry / 5000 lbs loaded camper/Toy Hauler.
The trailer is 8' wide and 9.5' tall and 18' long
I have a Class III hitch and will be using a leveling hitch and adding a brake box for the tailer brakes.

I wanted to add a Trans cooler but my Jeep dealer said I didn't need one and can tow up to 6500 lbs.

Tranny should be fine, just leave it out of over drive unless your just coasting along.
