The absolute limit of what you can tow will be limited by the "Payload" rating of the vehicle. In other words, if that loading sticker mentioned previously says "1050 LBs", the weight of all passengers, all cargo, the weight distributing hitch, and the tongue weight of the trailer should all total less than 1050 lbs. Another wrinkle is that you can't go by the advertised, listed tongue weight. After you load the camping stuff, a battery, and some propane, that tongue weight will go up substantially. It will end up around 13% of the trailer's total weight.
