Dry weights don’t include options, propane or batteries etc. With those added you’ll be at your tow rating before putting anything in the trailer. Unfortunately Jeeps don’t make for good tow vehicles on anything bigger than a pop up.

I had a neighbor who tried what you’re considering. After 1 tow he started using his Caravan to tow with instead.

According to the federal standard the weight on the yellow sticker is to include battery, full propane tanks, spare tire if included and all factory installed equipment. In addition if the dealer installs equipment increasing the weight by more than 5% they are to install a new updated sticker. Now the yellow weight can and might vary from the "brochure weight", but that's up to the manufacturer, my trailer was within tens of pounds of the brochure weight.

This is true if the OP is looking at a trailer on the lot and its actual yellow sticker. Most people when shopping are looking at brochures which tend to have substantially lighter “dry weights” that don’t tend include the above. Another sales tactic that gets the uninformed into trouble, much like 1/2 ton trucks with 12k tow ratings.
