I was reading a article in Trailer Life where a Jeep was pulling a 31' travel trailer. It was a 'light' 31' trailer, but still well above 7,500 pounds.
Check the tow ratings to make sure. It depends a lot on the rear axle ratio, if there are oversized tires, and what engine and especially the transmission. Any automatic will be good for a lot of weight, but many manual transmissions they limit, due to starting ability on a grade without destroying the clutch.
