Tongue weight depends where and how you park the Jeep on the trailer, but 800-ish is a good zone for a loaded car trailer.
I like trailers, I don't like flat towing. Flat towing is easier, but harder on the car/Jeep.
In the event of a truck breakdown, just hook the now-empty trailer to the Jeep and have the truck towed.
Loading and unloading from a trailer can be made easy when you have a specific vehicle you will be regularly hauling. You can make up a set of chains that are just the right size and set up some easy-to-reach tiedown hooks on the Jeep.
I tow a 10,000 trailer behind my 12,000 truck/11.5-foot camper combo with no issues, you just need a stout truck and it seems you have one.
Sure it's a little tougher to park at a campsite but how many guys are doing just that with 5th wheel and bumper-pull travel trailers?
