Rant - looking for a travel trailer
I wish some manufacturer made the trailer I was looking for. I have 4 children, and I use a SUV to carry the family. And from all the threads I constantly see here, and on other sites, I'm not the on...

First I would not say that your SUV is typical. Most mid sized and larger SUVs have tongue weight ratings at 10% of tow rating. Yours is 7% which is fine for maybe some boats, but not any typical trailers in the US. I suspect your SUV is European in which trailers are designed with a little less TW% and towing speeds are 50-55mph, not 65-75mph that we tend to think is acceptable.
Most SUV's you can purchase in the US are 500lb tongue weight with a 5000lb towing capacity.
Well actually most vehicles people drive are much less than that, but regardless, my vehicle has a larger tow capacity to tongue weight, but matches the Ford Explorer, Dodge Dakota, and others for tongue weight restriction....
