My dry tongue weight is 900#, so I would be RIGHT at the limit with the DuraBurb.
No, you're going to be way over.
900lb dry is wishful thinking on a 9400lb trailer. You're probably closer to 1200lbs off the lot, and you'll be pushing 1500lbs loaded and ready to camp.
There just aren't any good production vehicles designed to haul a big family AND tow a big trailer. You're going to have to compromise somewhere.
The best tow vehicle for your trailer is going to be AT LEAST a diesel F350 SRW or 3500 SRW. That would mean the kids have to make do with sharing the rear bench.
If you absolutely must have an SUV, then you will either have to compromise with a smaller trailer, or spend the money customizing a 2500 Suburban...
...and when that 'burb gets worn out in 4-5 years, then what?
