Thank you in advance
The trailer has a heavy tongue as shipped. If you can load the trailer while not adding much more tongue weight, you're golden.
Assuming you add 1,00lbs of stuff in the trailer (thats a LOT of stuff) you'll be at 6300lbs and your tongue should not be less than 630lbs. Starting out with a 725lb tongue, I again think you're in good shape.
I would have a hard time choosing an aftermarket hitch if there is one designed and specially fitted to your SUV. If its not specially fitted, then save money and buy aftermarket.
You will absolutely need a WDH. Many like the E2 Equalizer, I sure do!
Honda generators cannot be beat. Yamaha is a close second. And there are many others if money is tight, but you'll have a little more noise and power many not be as "clean".
