Wow am i new to this. Just picked up a 2006 Jeep Liberty Renegade. Didn't have a week and the wife wants to drop $20,000 on a Travel Trailer.
I searched the site on tow capacities and understand my Jeep with the tow package can haul up to 5,000 pds. There is alot of threads on being able to haul shorter loads up to that wieght with some success but I'd like to hear some people's exerience with some longer units.
We're looking at a 26 footer with a dry wieght of 3600 pounds. Add another 1000 for cargo and the total wieght s/b around 4600. Am I crazy to try and pull a unit of this length with that weight or can it be safely done with the proper hitch, sway bars, brakes? Anyone had experience pulling a travel trailer of this length and weight? Love to hear from you good or bad.
