OP, fellow Utahn here. I own a Lance 2185 and tow with an F150.
Although I love the Lance trailers (we've had 2 now), their tongue weight is usually much higher than they say (as with many other manufacturers). My 2185 comes in at 1100# tongue weight with batteries, water, etc. From what I understand your trailer will have an even higher tongue weight which will put you far over your payload.
I would check the lance owners forum, someone there is bound to have measured that trailer's tongue weight and can give you exact specs.
My gut feeling is that no, your TV is not ideal for this trailer and could be dangerous. But best to get exact specs to make an informed decision.
Good luck.
