Brakes on one axle??? Nope.
AStripped down gas 806 weighs in at 8460#, a diesel at 9220#, that's before any weights, fuel . . . So call it 9K for the sake of discussion. Put that on a trailer that probably weighs in at 3K or better.
You've already exceeded the capacity of the hitch by more than you can wink at and get away with for long. As for the trailer, you'll have it up to 12K or better, approaching its rating. And I expect you'll be getting near the GCWR for your truck. Meaning you want all the braking you can get.
With brakes on both trailer axles, I might chance a short trip with the hitch. With brakes on only one trailer axle, I wouldn't haul more than a couple garden tractors on it.
That last comment is overboard, obviously, but is said to make a point. Anything happens in front of you with an 806 on that trailer behind your pickup, there's a good chance you won't be able to stop it in time.
