2900# is dump truck territory! 
06HemiRam, I think someone was pulling your leg about the weight of water. You're going to need a pretty stout trailer. You're also pushing the need for trailer brakes.

umm, a quick search on google confirmed that 1 gallon of water weighs just over 8 pounds. 8.35 actually, times 350 = 2,922.5 pounds - of just water weight. I'm not sure about the maximum payload capacity but I think it's in the ballpark of 1,000 pounds.
** Okay it's closer to 1,300 - 1,500 depending on 2wd or 4wd and cab sizes. There should be a sticker on the drivers door frame which will list the actually weights and capacities specific to your model

This post by Casey's is correct. No way your truck can handle that load.
