I have a #7000 GVWR TT that is called a "Mini-Lite".. It's loaded for bear and I carry full load of fresh water too!

Tows fine and made a few mods to help, but in the end, it's a great tow and has some 108,000 miles on it now..
In the end, get the rig that works best for you and if it works, "you chose wisely".. If not... Well, then "you chose poorly".. :)
Good luck! Mitch
