Agree, time for some sticker-reading. Not only do you need to get all the specs for the tow vehicle, but since you have more access to the specific trailer, suggest you start there. There may be a yellow sticker on the street side of the trailer or inside one of the cabinet doors....likely kitchen sink. Write them all down. Yes, you do need to account for the people, dogs, stuff, food, every little thing that goes into the tow vehicle or the trailer counts. And.....you need wiggle room in the two sets of figures. There is a suggested percentage, but I can't recall what that is. Pound-wise, suggested is abut 1000#. Example, we tow with an F-150 CC with factory tow and 5.4 engine + ?? rear end and is rated to tow 8000#. Our TT is 5585# dry weight, which means basically naked, and our GVWR is 6629#. Payload figures in here, too, and you'll need a good WDH with sway, and yea, that counts, too. You're very wise to do all this homework before rather than after either purchase. Too many buy a tow vehicle and then go trailer shopping and fall in love with something that's way too heavy and then are most unhappy with those who responded to the questions. So since you're going to have to do both, get the trailer #s and then come back. Always good info to be had here. Good luck.
