[QUOTE=rob_engineer;4215036]Well, it's not really all about the weight. Aero is critical as well. I'm one of the folks that have towed 5000 pounds wit my 2012 stock JKU with 3.73 rear manual trans. My toy hauler was shaped like a brick. It weighed 3500 empty, then I put stuff inside including two motorcycles. Totaled up to around 5000 pounds. It did fine, but I would not recommend any heavier. I towed about 6000 miles in NJ, VA, PA, and NC. Stock receiver can't really use the benefit of the weight dist hitch due to the twisting action. The Smittybilt XRC bumper fixes this and makes the tow much improved. Raises the bumper tow capacity to 5000 pounds. Absolutely you need good brakes on the trailer controlled by a brake controller in the jeep. And don't exceed 65 mph. 60 is preferred.[/QU

Thanks a lot rob for you input and advice, I'm looking into between 16-20" somerset pop up trailer which are between 2100-2600lbs hopefully I won't have any issues pulling something that size.

My jk sport with 3.73 gears pulls this pop up easy. I think dry weight is around 1900lbs. It is a 2008 jayco 1008 Jay series

Thanks silva for the info and picture, that's a pretty sweet set up I like it. I think that would be more than enough for my wife, my 2 boys and I. I will be looking at jayco pop ups.
