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...

7000lbs is asking too much of any midsize SUV.
I've got a friend who towed a HTT with a Dodge Dakota for a few years, but last year he upgraded to an F250. You could see that poor little Dakota was being squashed down front and rear.
I do agree that 7,000 lbs is asking a lot...the Dakota is apples and oranges to the new Durango. The Durango isn't exactly a mid sized either it has a GVWR higher than some Half Ton Pick up trucks that have a higher tow rating!
The Durango is a great and Populr choice for towing a light weight TT.
The tongue weight must be managed as I believe it has a 750 or 850 lb limit depending on the owners manual.
A good handling vehicle with the right trailer would be pure joy to tow with. Like wise it can be a nightmare if the combo isn't set up right.
Thanks!
