As Mark observed you're going to be in one of those "I ain't got enough truck" situations if you try to actually take stuff to go camping.

Loaded weight, if like myself (previous trailer) and Mark, will put your tongue weight around the 1200lb. mark. With 1700 payload you're in a bad spot. To that 1200 add 100+/- for the hitch and you "might" have enough payload left for passengers...if there is only 2. Firewood, bikes, bbq, extra gear/people in the truck, they need to stay at home. Not good news I know but the reality of towing an RV - btdt.

That said, I would go with the Equalizer from your list. The Andersen is fairly new to the market (a few years), uses chains and poly cushions. IMO that is NOT what you need when you are towing at max weight or above.
