In this case, the 3500-lb tow rated vehicle is identical to a 5000-lb tow rated vehicle except for the powertrain, and the powertrain has 270 hp, more than I have towing a 7000-lb trailer.
No reason OP's vehicle can't handle a small TT if that's what he wants.

No, horsepower on its own doesn't mean squat. But I guess you're missing the part that this vehicle otherwise is the same as one rated to tow 5000 lbs.
As a hybrid, it's going to have safer brakes than your truck or mine because it can recover the energy instead of just heating up the brake disks.
