AT Horizon Towability

[BradJ]

So how easily do the Horizon trailers tow behind small vehicles, particularly the JKU?
I currently tow a smaller popup-type trailer that is about 16', probably weighs #2750 and has a tongue weight of close to #375 when loaded.
I know the Horizon is smaller than that, but I was surprised at how big and heavy the popup seems behind the Jeep. To tow serious distances I would really like something that is close to invisible.
I have an '12 JKU with the 3.6, 6sp, 4.10s and a nice brake controller. Stopping and going isn't a concern.

I have a 07 Chaser tow it with 06 LJ, and have no issues what so ever, I am running 4.88 gears , 6 spd brake controller and sometimes dont even know that it is there. Trailer loaded must be about 100-1200 lbs, and it does great even on hills up and down.

I pull a Horizon with an FJ Cruiser, which I would judge is generally pretty similar overall to your JKU for purposes of your question. Most of the time I am not aware it's there unless we're heading up a steep hill.

I towed a Horizon behind my FJ Cruiser for about a year, for the most part it towed well. It had a slight sway in it that I think is do to its short hitch to axle distance, which was good for off road travel, also makes it sensative to input when backing up. The FJ is rated to tow 5K lbs., don't know what the new JKU's can tow, but it should tow a Horizon just fine.
