Coleman - sorry, that was just a cut&paste regarding the GVWR...
Anyhow, next in line is a lighter one that should get us well into the comfortable tow range (SportTrek ST290VIK) and in the weight limits of the car:
Practicing my math:
GVWR: 8300 (7000 + 1300)
Tongue Weight: 913 (assuming 11%)
Car's (according to sticker) max cargo: 1275 lbs
Leaves 362 lbs which is about my wife and myself and a dog...
Assuming 50% loaded trailer
GVWR: 7650 (7000 + 650)
Tongue Weight: 842 (assuming 11%)
Car's (according to sticker) max cargo: 1275 lbs
Leaves 433 lbs which is wife and myself and all dogs...
Still close to / at the maximum, but more reasonable? And does my math make sense?
