I don't see why not, what's the total weight including the trailer?

I pull a 3000 lbs trailer with mine, and that's not loaded lol... it's tough on the blazer, but shes handling it like a champ!

No problem towing it, but you might want to toss in a trans aux cooler to keep the tranny happy.

IMO, that's a bit heavy for that vehicle and if I was going to tow that any distance on a regular basis, I'd get a bigger tow vehicle.
