Renting to see if you actually like it is a great idea.
Your truck has a tongue weight limit of 900 pounds due to the rear end. That generally means you can tow a 5500 pound dry weight trailer loaded to weigh 7000 lbs and be within the 900 pound tongue weight limit. That will also leave enough payload for you, the kids, travel bag of goodie and a small cooler. put the rest in the trailer.
Our trailer is 25 ft, weighs 4200 lbs dry, has no slide but does have two bunks so while it gets cramped on rainy days, it is functional and very easy for either of our Expeditions to tow.
