Hoping to keep it to an SUV... will it work?
I have posted elsewhere about my trailer needs but for the TV... Really would like to keep the TV to a Dodge Durango (V8) which has towing capacity of 7200 pounds. GVW is 7100 pounds and loaded wit...

In theory, if your SUV is rated at 7200lbs towing capacity, if you put 1000lbs in it (people & cargo) your tow capacity is now 6200lbs. The weight to watch out for is the tongue weight combined with your rear cargo as you do not want to exceed the GRAWR (Gross Rear Axle Weight Rating). Its listed on a sticker inside the drivers door jamb. The only real way to know is take your SUV empty over the CAT scales, record the front/rear axle weight, then again with everybody and everything you think you will take as cargo and weigh it again. You should also find out the GCWR (Gross Combination Weight Rating) of the SUV. This will tell you the what the vehicle can tow, total weight of the SUV & trailer. Hope this makes sense!
