Default Factory hitch ok to pull camper?

I'm new to pulling and I just bought a small travel trailer. Is the factory hitch good enough to pull a 2935 lb. camper? I have the tow package with 4.10's

Thanks!

at that weight, you're fine. My 4dr rubi is rated for 3500lbs. Jeep would never have placed a tow weight rating higher than the hitch could handle.

Thanks!
Just don't load it with more than 500lbs of gear and you are good to go. Your unlimited is also rated to tow a GVWR trailer of 3500 max. I hope you had an electric brake controler installed as well as using a load leveling hitch.
