payload is going to limit you.
5500lbs trailer means around 720 lbs tongue weight (13 % us a good start)
720 tongue weight
+ 100 lbs for hitch
+ weight of family in the car
+ weight of gear in the car
+ weight of extras (think ice, water, firewood)
= less than your payload. ok
= more than your payload, no go.
personally thats a tall order and id pass (having upgraded to an f150 from a grand cherokee myself)
