There are five things you need to know:
Towing capacity: Hitch rating
Towing Capacity: Max Combined Vehicle Gross weight -minus- Actually groose weight of tow vehicle.. NOTE: This is often lower than the max tow once you add people, pets, luggage and stuff.
Towing capacity: Maximum tong weight or hitch weight tow vehicle can hold.
Trailer Weight: Total GVW of Trailer (Actual weight loaded for travel)
Trailer Weight: How much of that weight rests on the hitch.
The first two you take the lesser number, If the trailer is heavier NO TOW
The 3rd has to be greater than the 5th or NO TOW.
Beyond that I can not advise.
