Im interested in towing a 2878lbs trailer, with a tongue weight of318lbs. My SUV is rated with a 5000lbs towing capacity. What would you recommend?

From the weights you listed, the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37060ET will actually be the one I recommend. This will have the a minimum tongue weight capacity of 200 pounds and a maximum tongue weight of 600 pounds. What you want to try to do when looking at weight distribution is to try to get as close to the systems capacity as possible, which this does fairly well.
