That would give me nightmares! I'm sure the 6 could pull it and the
Jeep + trailer brakes would stop it.
But! When that thing gets swaying... I know what 2000 feels like
swaying behind a Wrangler.

Ok.....
That is sure strange. Cherokee only makes an auto or standard
difference. 2000 lb for a standard and 5000 for an auto.

Re: Jeep + pop-up
I agree frankly. I think it depends a lot on how fast you are going, and
what sort of trailer you have. Trailers here are pretty good - My 8'x6'
(http://milne.info/wagoneer/trailer.jpg) has a 2.7 ton GVW capacity but has
twin axles and proper overrun brakes. The twin axles make a big difference
to swaying - I have to raise the jockey wheel so it is only on one wheel if
I want to manoeuver it by hand.
As it weighs over 1/2 ton, I restrict myself to another 3/4ton and above
that use the Wagoneer.
