FWIW, I weighed my TM 2720 once. It was full of water and everything I own for camping. My intent was to load it for my worst case scenario, a week camping with the kids (24 & 26). It weighed 3380 on the axle. I did not weigh the tongue. My guess is that was was just a little over 4,000 pounds.

My point is that the factory spec for the 2720 when fully loaded is 4075. I believe that you can load it that heavy but you almost have to try extra hard to max it out. I certainly did not need all the stuff I had.

If your TV can tow 5,000 pounds, and you believe the folks that claim the 80 percent rule, then you are right on the money.

Unless you can not park a 2720 where you intended to store it, then I would still strongly recommend you consider the 2720 over the 2619. With the swing away tongue saving 2 feet in length, my 2720 is actually a foot shorter than a standard 2619 when parked in the garage. I don't think the weight is substantially different. I think that if you can tow the 2619 you can tow the 2720.

Anything bigger than the 2720 and you might be too big for the Jeep.
