A TT weights a certain amount when it is loaded and ready for the road. It has a certain tongue weight when loaded for the road.
A TV has certain tow weight and max cargo capacities.
Either the two are compatible or they are not.
Wishing, hoping, wanting and the opinions of others do not change the numbers. The greater the mis-match the greater the strain on the TV and handling.
People have shown many times you can pull almost any TT with with almost any TV. The question is, do YOU want to ignore the factory TT and TV ratings because they do not meet your needs or do you want to adjust your needs to fit the situation at hand. This is not rocket science.
