You will be towing at the very max by the time you put a few people in the vehicle and personal items in the trailer. Very easy to be over over the tow vehicle rating with this trailer. Some are comfortable with this and most are not. Climbing hills will be 25 to 40 mph at max throttle. A difficult driving situation can be awkward to control. I often say keep the trailer GVWR within the tow rating and you are over. Any weight in the vehicle besides the 150# driver and a tank of fuel counts against the tow rating including optional equipment.
