Yes, the dual axle (tandem) trailer should work nicely. Before I sold my BX22, I trailered it around using my 7000# rated car hauler.

Using your figures, as long as your loaded trailer weight doesn't exceed the 6100# vehicle rating you should be fine. Make sure you position the load to keep the tongue weight between 10-15% of the load. This is an often overlooked, but critical factor in towing.

You'll need an electronic brake controller. It should work through the existing connector. Some truck manufacturers provide a brake controller hookup harness.
