Towing capacity of your vehicle is listed at 8700 lb with the addition of a class IV receiver. If you look for a trailer no more than 80% of that, about 7000 lb, (a good guideline) your tongue weight of the empty trailer will be 700-1000 lb, plus add another 100 lb or so of tongue weight for contents of the trailer. So at 1100 lb tongue weight MAX you will have 1300 lb of cargo capacity left for people and stuff.
This is where I get confused though. See the attached pic I took from the instruction book (I highlighted the part I'm concerned about). You said above that I would have 1100 tongue weight, but according to that instruction book I can only have 870...? is that incorrect?
