Thank you for all the feedback, that makes sense. I just don't want to get something that it "too big" or dangerous to tow. I just got off the phone with a KZ dealer and I think I'm more confused. He owns an Expedition and is telling me we can get a much larger trailer than we are looking at. With a class IV hitch and the V8 engine, he said we could approach 7000# towing (which we wouldn't, but he's saying we could). He said as long as we don't exceed the Dry Hitch Weight of the model we are looking at and the overall tow weight is rated for our TV, I believe 8700# - we are fine. He said with our truck, he would show us the KZ Sportsman 280BH with an UVW of 5450, a dry hitch weight of 680# and a GVWR rating of 7000#. He says we would have NO TROUBLE towing this and he sells it to people all the time with not as powerful a TV as ours. He said the ride is actual smoother on the heavier TT and the ride nicer (slow, but nicer). Even loaded with 1000#, he said we are well within our ranges and totally safe. So who is right? He says we are looking smaller and simply don't need to - get what we want since our TV can handle it. We really liked that Jayco White Hawk which is in the same weight ranges.
I personally think they try to make this as confusing as possible for a newbie! It's scary to think about pulling 7000# behind you.
