Keep an eye on the gross weight capability of the trailer. A lot of 5, 6, and 7k trailers out there. Small frame rails, only one axle has brakes, etc. Trailer weighs 3 to 4k, whats left is what you can haul.
I've got a 10k trailer, 16", 6 lug, 2x 6k axles. Trailer weighs 3,300. Car weighs 3,100, Racks full of supplies and tools brings gross weight to 9-ish k. Have never regretted going for the extra $$. I cross country 3 to 4 times a year, never had any issues, E-rated tires, temp and pressure monitors on all 4.
