Right along with Debian Dog here... I would also agree that this combination is very iffy... especially with the vehicle being loaded fully with 5 passengers. Mountain towing would be out of the question. You'd be limited to flat land towing and small hills (which is what we primarily do and our TV is rated for 5000lbs) until a more powerful tow vehicle can be afforded. I don't want to discourage you but it's best to know what you're up against.
On the brighter side, if you can buy something more powerful to tow with in a year or so, you can still enjoy low elevation camping which is great for getting used to towing the trailer and getting used to camping in it. We are fully enjoying our experience and do plan to buy a different tow vehicle within the next year.
Good luck in your adventure!
