Towing question for 2011 TBSS

I currently tow my 2011 Wildwood 26TBSS with my 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 Hemi and don't have any issues. I am considering getting a newer vehicle that I will also be using for some work related travel. I am considering a mid size SUV like a Dodge Durango with a Hemi that would have a max towing rating of around 7200 lbs. Any idea if I will have an issue with towing the trailer with that rating ? I have a weight distributing hitch that Ill be using. I load up the trailer with approx. 400lbs of equipment when we go camping. I normally do not fill the fresh water tank as we use the campground water. Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks

We tow with a 1500 Silverado, no issue. We weighted our trailer, ready for camping, nothing in the tanks, and it was 7,000lbs. With some passengers, you may exceed the max towing weight for that vehicle.
