I would just pull it. Back in the 80's we pulled ours with Subaru BRAT which is a lot lighter weight then your Jeep. Never had a problem and sleds were a lot heavier back then. Just take it easy and you'll be fine.

Thanks. I live on a pass that is very steep and we get 300-350 inches a year up here in Killington Vermont. The good news is that we have 4,700 mi of the VAST trails. The closest trail to me is only 3 miles. It just occurred to me that I can borrow a beater Toyota Van from my friend and tow it with that in bad weather. I will have to put a hitch on it for $500 but he will appreciate it. I think I will get the TC128 and go slow.

The towing limits are conservative, with a limit of 2000 lbs. nowhere in that limit does it state don't drive up a hill or don't drive down a hill or don't tow in the snow. The vehicle is meant to tow up and down the road. I used to pull two 660 Yamaha grizzlies and a generator behind a two door over all types of terrain in all types of weather, it is how you drive not what you tow. You are below or at the limit I would not hesitate.

This guy gets it. They don't set the tow ratings for 60 degrees. No wind. Table flat towing conditions.

I am willing to go hell bent for leather at 70 or 80 MPH across snow fields or through the woods at night on a snow mobile but worry about my jeeps ability to get a 2K load to the woods

70 or 80 mph. boring. In the UP, there is places that you can run at 120+ for many miles.
