Yup you have learned your weakness as many of us did the hard way. Working the math backward from the 515 lbs of available payload looks like a max trailer gvwr of 3400 lbs. If you can try upgrading your tv to a used more capable tv then you can get a larger trailer. Not sure how many are in your family. A 3/4 ton crew cab pickup will get you a whole lot of tt and can readily be found used. If you need more seating then you are limited to looking for a 3/4 ton suv (still not a lot of payload) or look for a large can ie ford E350. An suv that is well loved but very hard to find is the 3/4 ton ford excursion. They quit making these in 2005. Good luck. I feel for You, from a former limited payload Suv owner.
