call me crazy but I might upgrade to 33 ft. trailer. why do I need WDH when my trailer is perfectly level and my tongue weight is 13% of the trailer weight ( per scale ) and that 13% of the weight and all in vehicle does not exceed max veh load.

I have Passport 30 ft trailer that weights 5,000 lb I did tow it with Toyota Tundra 5.7L briefly but just did not want to drive a truck. What I ended up with is VW Touareg. I can not only keep up with traffic but I am the guy passing them on the left. Mine is 2006 model with V10 twin turbo diesel. It has 560 lb ft of torque. It actually weights more than Suburban. You should check out VW Touareg. They are pretty capable tow vehicles. Bonus is that mine has self leveling air suspension so I don't even have to have WDH.

I've calculated needed TV specs as follows:
Payload 1980
Trailer wt rating 7600
Tongue weight 1140
The only SUVs that can handle those specs are V10 Excursion and -06 Suburbans.
those aren't the specs of the trailer the OP is talking about, if it's the 26RS.
Those are calculated needed specs based on the 26RS and a 20% margin.
trying to understand where the 1140lbs. tongue weight comes from, if the "dry" tongue weight is only 332lbs.
course, i question the accuracy of that number. it's awful low for a 27' TT, even with the rear bed slide.
