Generally good advice above - but there is one missing element. The 720 you list does not account for other items in the truck nor the WD hitch itself. Any food, snacks, books, etc. that you and your kids have along for entertainment are part of your weight. It's a small number, but it's there. More importantly, the WD hitch is likely to weigh upwards of 100 pounds on its own. Thus, I'd suggest your max tongue weight is closer to 600, not 720.
This would suggest a LOADED trailer weight of 4,500-5,000, max. That means you are looking for something sub 4,000 dry. At that weight you are likely looking at a teardrop, A-frame, pop-up, small hybrid, or a box trailer under 20'.
