What I would do (what I did). I'm towing with a Chevrolet Suburban. I bought it with a travel trailer in mind. Then, I purchased my WD hitch. Lastly we went to the dealership and picked out a trailer that was well under the weight rating. Our limit is 7200. The dry weight of the trailer is 5800. Once we bought it the dealership set up the hitch for free (yea, right).
Is 7,200 the towing spec according to the manufacturer or the tow limit you calculated.
My Durango has a 7,200 limit according to the manufacturer, but after I factored in the tow vehicle weight, the family weight, and the tongue weight - the trailer GVW becomes 6,000, so dry I am looking at much less than that.
