Edge 2.0L also has a 3,500# rating, although if I was towing anything over 3,000# I would want electric brakes and maybe even a weight distribution hitch (which added to the tongue weight of the TT would probably put you over the vehicle tongue weight limit).
The only thing I can think is that older folks want a bathroom and maybe even 2 beds. That takes you out of a pop up and into a hybrid.
The Jayco 16XRB sneaks in under 3,000# but GVW is 3,750# so you had better pack lit and make sure your tanks are empty. Anything larger is over 4,000# GVW.
The popup we are selling has 2 queen beds, a 3rd bed on the dinette, and a 4th is the couch (could probably sleep 8 in a pinch if some were kids). It also has a shower and toilet. 2700 lbs empty weight. As far as brakes, I think that all states require trailer brakes for anything over 3000, and a few are more conservative than that. Our popup has electric brakes.
