That's lighter than I would have guessed - there probably isn't much gear in that. Now, check to ensure that the total combination of the SUV with passengers and cargo plus the trailer doesn't exceed the Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) for the SUV... which is 8030 pounds according to the owner's manual. You may not be able to tow the maximum rated trailer weight while also carrying passengers and cargo in the tow vehicle, without exceeding GCWR... but with a curb weight of about 4300 pounds, trailer at about 2000 pounds, and GCWR over 8000 pounds, that leaves lots for passengers and cargo.

Probably true.
