Total weight of all passengers, cargo, animals (besides kids!), wd hitch, and the trailer tw all add up toward the tow vehicles available payload. Probably be fine with the current trailer, but if you step up to a larger trailer down the road you may need more payload.
What about a crew/extended cab truck. Maybe that would have more payload???
Good luck!
