Kennedy,

You'll be fine. Just dont lug the engine. If you get in the hills make sure you take it out of overdrive.

4000 won't hurt anything. Just be kind to it. Don't lug it and don't ask for top performance on grades.

I hooked my 31' 5'er to mine with 10 miles on it and went to Florida, Break it in like you are going to use it!
