HELP! Did I buy a trailer that I can't pull????

I understand that just asking this question really shines a light on how much of an idiot I am. That being said, I'm going to ask anyways. I started shopping for my first travel trailer a few months...

I don't see any issues with that trailer with your Burb. If the tow capacity is only 5000 then you may have a 3.08 gear. But you have the 6 speed auto with good gearing in it.

Have fun with it!

FWIW, I towed a 25ft 5000lb loaded TT with a 95 Explorer and it did remarkably well.
