Default Towing a camping trailer?

Hi all,

I have a '10 2dr Sport, 6spd w/3.73's and am wondering if anyone has towed a camping trailer with one?

I have a Coleman Sante Fe pop up trailer that looks similar to the pic below, weighs about 2200lbs. I know the tow rating, but what is everyone's thoughts, too much?

I used to tow the trailer long distances with my Ranger that had a v6 3.0L, 5spd and had no problems. And my wife had a '97 TJ sport that she pulled a 19' boat LOADED with stuff from Sacramento to Seattle with no problems...

Since you know the tow rating, the question is one of liability.
Insurance companies and lawyers look for things like this when something goes wrong..
