Exclamation Moving: Can my truck tow this trailer?

So I've found another job in another town and have to move there. I was wondering if my truck can tow this 5'x10' u-haul trailer. I have a 1 bedroom apartment, the biggest things being the couch and my bed. No appliances or large dressers, most everything else will be boxed.

Here is what I was looking at:

http://www.uhaul.com/Reservations/Eq....aspx?model=MV

The things I know are:

my GVWR is 5280 lbs.
my hitch is 3500 lbs. max
my tongue is 350 lbs. max
trailer max load is 1550 lbs.

It says that the trailer has an automatic surge brake, so I'm assuming I can just use my 4 way plug and the brakes are part of the trailer tongue.

Does this all sound ok? I'm probably moving next week!
