You may also wish to look at the max payload of the TV. I'm sure it can tow it but with you, the wife, the kids and stuff you may exceed the payload.
I know my 2013 Ram 1500 4x4 crew cab is rated to tow 10100# but the payload is only 1400#. After loading my 7100# TT and running to the local scales I found out I exceed the payload. This is with Blue Ox WDH. Sale people always only look at the tow rating not the max payload. Three sales guys said I could tow it with no problem...but guess what...problem.
Now I have to buy a bigger truck or leave the wife and kids home to say under the max payload and GVWR :)
