Do yourself a favor and read all of the fine print that goes along with a "tow rating"
They are really just an advertising number.
But yes as to your question.... A 5000 rated vehicle will generally tow better than a 3500 rated one.... Though it is very likely that a 3500 rated vehicle will be over some ratings.
Personally, these are both pretty paltry ratings to begin with. So I would want something stronger.
Do you already have the trailer?
Finding out later that your TV isn't up to the task is an expensive mistake.
Many here have done just that in the past.
