The lift kit may well be a detriment to your factory towing capacity. The only Jeep Trailhawk with the 7,200 LB tow max for 2018 is the SRT with the 6.4L Hemi. Is that what you have? (Payload, is the real issue here anyhow).

On my last trip I saw a Grand Cherokee with the diesel, pulling a larger Microlite travel trailer with a single slide. Most would say not a good match, but it was a great combination, WD hitch, diesel torque, owner was very much the engineer type of fellow, meticulous, even had the German flag sticker on the car window.
