03 DB-Cab 4x4 towing

Hello everyone. My question is this. I have a stock Tacoma DB-Cab 4x4 w/3.4L. I was wondering since i havent towed much if it would hurt my truck to tow about 120lb luggage and a jetski/trailer that total a weight of 1015 across country. There will be a few mt. ranges i will have to go through while leaveing the eastcoast. I would not worry if i had time to install a cooler but i have to leave in 2 days. Any input would be greatly apprciated or tips...Thanks everyone
