To tow a large trailer you should learn and know what GVWR means for each vehicle, Payload of each vehicle, empty weight of each vehicle, hitch weight of trailer, CGVWR for the tow vehicle and axle weight ratings on the tow vehicle. Since you have both vehicles those are numbers easy to look up. You listed about half so far. Than go to the scale and get real weights. After that is done look at what the max. weight the tires are made to carry. Do not be alarmed when the trailer weights more than Keystone says. That is normal.
