TIMEMACHINE knows his stuff. Good job!

Just remember, a heavy hitch-receiver combination will overload the rear axle GAWR unless weight distribution (WD) gear is installed on the trailer. WD gear has heavy spring bars that put force on the TV frame so that some of the hitch weight is transferred to the front axle. I don't think a dealership would let you out the door without one. Equalizer is a very good brand. Dealerships tend to have lowball friction anti-sway WD gear brands -- put your foot down and get something more reputable.
