I also have a Cherokee TH that has the axles towards the rear while the F-30 Cherokee axles are closer to the middle. The TH tows like it is on rails behind the truck with lots more tongue weight because of where the axles are located. The F-30 Cherokee does not handle near as well with the axles close to the middle and considerable less tongue weight towed with the same vehicles. Neither trailer exceeds tow vehicle weight ratings which could lead to handling issues as well as unloading the front axle of your tow vehicle, that's where a good Equalizer hitch is involved.
What is your loaded tongue weight! On my trailer I had too much tongue weight and it pushed my Excursion around o was over 15%! I Moved stuff around to get it to 12% and it towed much better. Sometimes too much tongue weight is as bad as too little. I would also recommend using a Reese Dual Cam hitch.
The Burb can handle that trailer if set up properly with a good sway control hitch.
