The truck should fit and I don't think you will have much problem with the drop ramps. If so, pull the pins and remove the ramps once the truck is loaded. The weight capacity of that trailer may not be sufficient. If you are only going a short distance you might be OK. Do you have trailer brakes. I think there may be some hills in NH and I'd be worried about being pushed down one of those hills if you don't have trailer brakes. You can use a heavy duty come along to load the truck. It will take some time, some good blocks for the wheels, and some good chains. Do you have chains and load binders? You should secure the truck to the trailer at 4 corners. I recommed that you place the chains around the shackles on the front and rear axles. This way the truck won't get loose when you hit a bump. If you are going more than a short distance, I would recommend you borrow a bigger trailer.

Good Luck
Steve
