"people blindly buy what the manufacturers produce"
What a ridiculous statement! People have different wants and needs, so there are many different models with different features. What works great for me may not work at all for you. Just because you don't like something does not mean it is not perfect for someone else.
It's nice to have many choices. That's why RV manufactures come up with different models - people buy what they like, and if they aren't buying some model, it gets discontinued.
This forum is a good example of how absurd your comment is. People ask all kinds of questions, looking for what suits their needs. Few walk into an RV dealer and say "hook something to my car/truck, and I will buy it".
To the OP's question, there are lots of trailers out there to choose from. If you target a dry weight of 3,500 lbs or less, that gives you a loaded weight of between 4,500 lbs and (on the very high end) 5,000 lbs, if the trailer is rated for that high. Many people tow with a Grand Cherokee. Just have to properly equip, and know the towing specs for both your Jeep, and the trailer. Don't overload the Jeep, or the trailer, and use a weight-distributing hitch.
