You need to figure the hitch weight for the trailer will be about 20% of the trailer GVWR.

Get your truck weighed in travel trim and add the estimated hitch weight to this. Your total needs to be less than the GVWR of the truck (and also the rear axle weight of the laoded truck plus the hitch weight under the GAWR of the truck).

Excels are not light weight trailers.

Depending on you rear end which I would want 4:10's. You should be fine. I use to tow a 30RGE with a '93 F250, 460ci and 4:10 rear end.
