I have had a 20' Inboard boat behind my rubi. with out breaks on the trailer
.... But it was a tandem axle a lil more stabile to pull and pulled at 70
mph. I think that boat was around 5600 lbs

If you got caught doing that here in Canada, it would be really
expensive. You would get tickets for no brakes and an overloaded
vehicle and the cops would call a tow truck for the boat trailer.
I know, I got nailed at 2 AM pulling an empty dually bunk trailer with
my 1/2 ton pickup truck. Figured it wasn't much over 4000 lb. I was
sooo lucky my passenger grew up with the cop..... Only had to pay the
towing bill, got a lecture instead of over $1000.00 in tickets because
it was my first truck I owned.
Your jeep is considered a 1/4 ton vehicle.
