I went from a 4,400 lbs. trailer to a 7,300 lbs. (32') trailer with my Expy and I found the new trailer terrifying to tow.
With the length and weight of the units you listed, you will be uncomfortable at best. It's difficult shopping when the manufacturers all list "dry weight" and don't include the weight of "mandatory options" in the figures. I would allow a much, much larger safety margin with that tow vehicle due to it's squishy rear end.
To find the true dry weight, The weight of the trailer sitting on the lot in front of you. You only need look at the yellow sticker. It tells the weight of the trailer as it sits, and with empty propane tanks, and battery. Of course it won't stay that way when you start loading it. But is a good place to start
