So what's the take home message? The 2011 is considered part of the older, higher quality Komfort brand, or not?

The resort you are looking at is pre Dutchman kind of. They were still being manufactured under the old management of Komfort but Dutchman was starting to take over.
I owned a 2011 Resort 24rk and it was a really nice trailer. The only reason why I got rid of it was for more room.

I would go off of what rugermark2 has in the quote above and then do some additional searching to see if there are many complaints for severe issues with Komfort post 2010. Keep in mind that it seems just about every RV manufacturer will have minor punch-list type issues on new RVs. Not saying it is right, just reality and very common...so keep that in mind when you continue your research.

OK, second question about the tow vehicle. The plan was to get a Dodge Durango Hemi which has a capacity of 7200 pounds. The GVWR on this trailer is, I think, 7500 pounds. Is this a bad idea?

Your real limiting factor will be Tow Vehicle payload which is found on the sticker located on B-pillar, driver side. This sticker will tell you the amount of weight that specific vehicle can be loaded up with excluding all vehicle liquids and a single 150lb driver. Everything else added to the vehicle (occupants, gear, W/D hitch and tongue weight) all subtract from the payload. For both the Durango and Sequioa, you will run out of payload well before you ever run out of tow capacity.

Now, that also does not mean you will be reaching the GVWR of the trailer at 7500 lbs. See if the current owner/friend can get it weighed while it is unloaded, ready for sale but still has propane tanks and batteries. Then figure you will be adding between 500# - 1000# of gear to the trailer and you will know ~ weight of a loaded trailer along with tongue weight calculated at 13% of the loaded TT weight.
