Thanks everyone for all the information and opinions. It's been a great help. If you care, I've decided I'm going to be looking for a little lighter trailer. I'm hoping to find one that still has dual axles.
Thanks Fungi3. I had thoughts about being more conservative, so you've definitely given me something to chew on.
If the trailer is loaded up to 5,500 lbs that means I'm at 78% my towing capacity. And that doesn't count the strain if I've maxed out the payload as well. Based on what you are...
Thanks for all the input and help! I'm not very familiar with towing and trailers. What little I've done, I've always had more tow capability in the tow vehicle.
I just got a 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon 4x4, 8-spd automatic with the 3.6L V6, that also has the Trailer Tow Package (Class IV Trailer Hitch and Heavy Duty Engine Cooling). I’m trying to pair this with a travel trailer and while I’ve done the math, I’m worried that I may be pushing the limits...
