What can I tow safely with my TV

Hello all wise ones out there! I plan to hit the road full-time next spring. I will drive a fair amount to explore much of this grand country I call home-including some mountain areas (Rv at the park and unhitch is an option) and boondocking on BLM.

I have a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4X4, Summit with tow package, V8, 5.7L. Max towing 7200lb, max payload 1050lb, GVWR 6800lb.

What is the max TT weight I can safely tow?

I have my eye on a Dutchman Kodiak 2500rbsl, ship wt 5400, hitch weight 596, cargo max wt 1185. If so, any recommendation on anti-sway bars and WDH? I will need to add trailer auto brake, right? What else?

I LOVE my Jeep and really do not want to sell for a truck. Hope this works but if not, what weight do I need to be under? I will need to re-do my TT search options!

Thank you, in advance all you kind folks!

Honestly. 5400lb dry is a little much for your Jeep. Were I you. I would look more at something in the 3500 to 4500lb dry (yellow sticker) range


Then up grade the tires to a beefier heavier tire. Honestly a Jeep should make a good TV. but you need to stay well with in it's limits.
