Hi all- thinking about getting into the travel trailer world next year if I retire and wanting to make sure I'm not looking at too much trailer for our current vehicle and not inclined to buy an additional vehicle just for towing.
2022 Mercedes GLE450. Towing capacity with WD hitch 7700lbs. Vehicle weight 5016 lbs, GVWR 6614 lbs. 362hp and 369 ft lbs trq. Max tounge weight with WD hitch 770 lbs. Also has self leveling air suspension
Trailer considering 2024 Keystone Bullett Crossfire 5307 lbs dry, 1893 lbs carrying capacity, Hitch weight 640 lbs
Doing the rough math I believe this will work as it seems to be pushing the limits, but still within them.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

It’ll work but it’ll suck. Enough power…ish. But. Short squat little suv is way less than ideal. Especially considering you don’t have any towing experience.
Don’t end up as someone’s dash cam YouTube clip!
or just get a truck.
