Alan,

Welcome to the forum!

I do not have experience in towing with that small of a TV (Tow vehicle) but based on the numbers you quoted I would be leery of towing at the max the truck is rated for. That being said, one way to do this without having to get a bigger TV is to go vintage. The older trailers weighed less than the comparable size new ones. Some of it is overall size. Older ones are a bit narrower, so less overall trailer. But also they were designed to be pulled by the family cars of the 60's. So the overall construction was done with an eye toward light weight. Today it is more a matter of interior volume because most people tow with a full sized truck or sport ute.

If you have the time and the skills you can also save a ton of money by going this route.

Keep looking, do your research, ask questions, your trailer will find you. I know it sounds weird, but it has happened to many of us that way.
