My 6.5'x12' utility trailer weighs about 1100 pounds empty and single axle, 3500 pound GVWR, no brakes. I typically load it with 1500-2000 pounds of stuff and tow it about 170 miles each way. I had no problems braking with my F-150 nor my Suburban. I have considered towing it with my Passat, but the braking aspect concerns me the most. A Jimmy? I'm not sure. Test it empty as is first to gauge your comfort level.
