Maximum Tow Weight For SUV

I'm in the process of buying my first trailer and have read that I should be sure to leave a buffer between the weight of the trailer and the max towing weight of the vehicle.

I have an SUV rated for 3,500lbs and am looking at 16-18' trailers in the range of 2,800 to 3,200lbs dry.

What would be the max dry weight I should consider?
