OK...
After listening to you folks we've determined that our initial idea (not a plan by a LONGSHOT!!!) won't work. We don't want a larger tow vehicle. The good news is that there are tons of options (pre-owned preferably) for a trailer that works for us.
Also, I think I'm at the point where I'm ignoring "dry weight" as a measure for the trailer size. It seems like it give you a much more general size idea than the GVWR...of which were looking at around 5000 lbs (GVWR) with a tongue weight of 480-600 lbs.
That sound about right for a vehicle that tows around 6600 lbs?
Thanks
