The wife and I are looking to buy a travel trailer here soon. I have the F150, which is rated for 11,000 lbs but ideally can tow ~9000 lbs once you factor in payload and tongue weights, but I was thinking it might be nice to buy something the Jeep could tow as well. I think am more concerned about stability than power because I know its not going to be a race car up the hills. What are you towing and how does the Jeep do?

I have found a few used trailers locally that are 19 and 21 feet but have a base weight of like 4000-4300 lbs and GVWR's of 6000+ lbs. I feel like they could be closer to 5k with options, and then once you load up your gear and water they will be well over.

If you're looking for a camper, then the best brand is winnebago, which has the fewest complaints, best warranty and R value. A good choice is winnebago micro mini series, a good gvwr (around 3,500lbs) and space combo. I saw a YouTube with a guy pulling one with the new cherokee with wdh.

There are more luxurious options out there, but this is a trailer you can tow with your crd easy, I'd advise getting the tandem axle and a weight distribution hitch. The series has single axle and tandem options.

All other brands outside winnebago are ranging from trash to so-so, in terms or longevity, reliability, customer satisfaction, warranty (keep in mind there is no lemon law for campers/rvs and what you get is what you'll keep - no lemon law replacement). It is also the best I know regarding weight - size & features ratio. They don't use plywood and the way it is constructed is more proofed against leaks. Also, the R value is better than competition (R value = insulation quality).

You can Google an YouTube the series and see the features they have, and also reviews.

well - I don't tow - but I don't think any CRD towing discussion is complete without a link to Danoid's trailer

I wouldn't tow over 3500# max with the Lib CRD and would always use a WD hitch. You might get away with towing more on the flat at lower altitude but you will regret having more weight in the mountains. No need for dual axles with 3500# max weight either.
