Tow capacity of the Eco Diesel is 7200 lbs. 240 HP & 420 lb/ft of torque. I weighed the trailer and Jeep at a truck scale on my trip.
Weight on the trailer axles was 5540 lbs. Trailer is 27 ft from rear bumper to the hitch. I was within 60lbs of the max rear axle weight rating of the Jeep with the trailer & WDH attached and cargo and full tank of fuel.
I have a Centerline TS WDH with sway control. and had no issues with numerous headwinds, side winds, and passing trucks. I was very happy how it towed overall.
Would it tow better with a 1/2 ton pickup? Obviously yes. I couldn't get a pickup in my garage because of the length, even a shortbed, which was mandatory for me.
It is a great vehicle for my daily driver and for towing. I averaged 13.5 MPG towing miles only. Verified by pen & pencil. That's mainly hills & mountains out west.
I had 1 tank driving around Yellowstone and up to Beartooth Pass and over to Cody without the trailer that was 32.3 MPG.
I consistently get around 27-28 MPG average per tank driving around SoCal.
Personally, I wouldn't go any bigger towing, JMO. But I never felt uncomfortable towing with the Jeep.

Beautiful spot.
Very kind offer for others to enjoy, thank you
We visited some friends in Fredericton , about a year ago, on the way to Fundy NP, PE, and Nova Scotia. What a beautiful part of the world!. For us Floridians, it was a great 60 day adventure.

Traded the Winnie Drop for a Minnie 2401RG
We hated to let the Winnie Drop go, but we experienced many camping 'trips' during several camping trips which prompted us to trade for something a bit larger. Two grown adults and a large camping hound were constantly stumbling over each other in the small rig. We loved everything else about the little Winnie, but just could not adapt to the cramped interior.
We'll take the new rig out to Blanco SP for its maiden voyage next week...
