I have an 07 4 dr and I tow a 7x12 open trailer with a couple Harleys on it. You can definitely tell it is there but it does ok.

Well I went from a pickup to the jeep so stuff a truck would haul plus more. It's a 13 so a little more power. Mainly haul motorcycles. General junk. Random stuff. Has to be at least 10' because my chopper is 9'10" but I have other motorcycles.

I haul a 16" trailer with 3 four wheelers and camping gear. I load the wheelers to the rear of the trailer and it rides almost level. I do have a 2013 with 4.10 gears so power is good. If I had to stop quickly I might be in a bind. I usually only haul 40 miles one way on flat ground. I use my truck if I have a long haul.

Ive pulled all sorts of things behind mine. My heaviest load was a 16x6 loaded with 16 cross ties weighing around 220 each. Usually just a couple four wheelers or a golf cart. It's about time to hook up to the ski boat though.

I tow a 13ft Living Lite Camper. It weighs about 2k pounds. I also tow a small M416 trailer. They pull fine but you can tell the camper is back there for sure. I am getting ready to buy a programmer
