ZachO. I know what the truck weighs empty from the scale at the dump where they weigh me going in and coming out. At the scale near you they should let you weigh each axle separately, I think...

Look at the Chevy Colorado/ GMC Canyon. The Gas (which I have) has a 7000lb towing capacity and the diesel has a 7700lb limit. I would never tow a trailer that heavy, at some point you'd have to...

I have 2 ideas. Look at Home Depot or Lowes for a house gable vent and figure out if you can modify it. Or if you know of someone with a 3D printer they could make you one (or more)
