" Base dry unit weight = 7038"
Not many if any SUV's are going to work for this weight trailer. Not enough payload capacity.
(Maybe a used Excursion).

Look at a newer Ford F150 (Ecoboost) with HD towing package and HD payload package...or better yet, a 3/4 ton pickup.

Good luck with your new adventure.
