Sorry to "Pile on" but.
For the first season I pulled my Passport 195RB with a Ford Explorer Sport.
OK, the 195RB is a little bit heavier but with dual axles less tongue weight.
My '16 Explorer Sport came with a 3.5l V6 Ecoboost, tow/haul mode and extra cooling. All part of the Sport package. A Sport model is a whole different beast. That 365 HP Ecoboost had more than enough power and nothing ever over heated but any time a semi passed me it was white knuckles. Cross winds were a chore and head winds.... sigh.
There is not a huge difference between our TTs if you look at frontal area and side sail and that's what's important.

If you plan to take weekend trips of a couple of hours or so and mostly don't get on interstates and you have AWD and cooling you will not be happy but you should be OK. Take a few test trips and see how it goes.
My wife and I got our TT (first TT) in August and took a few (4) shorter trips to shake things out.
In the spring, before the next season, I bought a truck and damn glad I did but we do 10k miles a year on road trips. YMMD.
Either way, enjoy. That's what it's all about.
