Question about R-pod Vs. other small trailers! New to this!

Thanks all! So, we have been told we could go around 3000 max, so you are saying with a max of 3600 I should only be pulling 2000? This is counter to what we've been told at three dealerships, and so I appreciate the insight. Thanks for your thoughts! If this is true, what would the lightest best solutions be? We'll be in bear country so it can't pop out like a tent. thanks!
