Never count on a trailer's dry weight. In the real world, you'll have food, clothes, bedding, camp chairs, grill, battery, propane... loaded in the trailer. While the vehicle will be full of family members and dogs. In my case I add a full tank of water and some solar panels because I boondock. Oh, and a kayak and fishing gear.
That 4300# trailer ends up weighing 6000# faster than you'd think. Evaluate any tow vehicle based the fully loaded weight of a trailer.
