The post above is right, FORGET DRY WEIGHT, it is a useless number unless you want to estimate.
Also Forget looking at any trailer until you do the most important thing. Weigh your tow vehicle! Load it up with the family, and any cargo you assume you will carry in it, and take it to a CAT scale.
When you do this (and it is excellent advice) either have your WDH hitch with you or take 100 lbs off the payload number you calc out.
100 lbs for the hitch relates to 770 less lb of trailer weight your can pull.
