For me, eventually, a hiker/drifter trailer. Mainly my bicycle though.

A single axle trailer that carries either my two ATV's or a couple of kayaks and some gear.

what will I tow?
Bowrider, Waverunner, motorcycle trailer and... yet to be purchased: a light weight overland trailer.

Like campers, many overland trailers are overbuilt with accessories that jack up the price, size, and weight. I'll likely build custom or find one that is < 1,500 pounds. Only accessories I need are battery, genset, eCooler, water tank, interior bed (no RTT), and MTB mounts. Keeping gross tow weight down and trailer width narrow will be optimal.

What’s wrong with a diesel? More more efficient in every way possible over a gasoline plus more torque. So you can pull the house off the blocks if need be?
There's nothing wrong with a diesel - I'd love one with the 7M same as you. The powertrain is not what governs towing in this vehicle though.

This vehicle has the towing capacity of a geo metro. An aluminum trailer and boat/ jet skis, or steel trailer with an ATV is about its max which is odd considering it’s solid axle. Should’ve gone with a Dana 60 at minimum with option of Dana 80

I kept the rear axle and leaf springs from my 2004 Xterra, I'm going to build an offroad camping trailer around it. I'm going to try to keep the weight under 1500lbs unloaded. Fully loaded, no more than 3000lbs.

Same setup as with Jeep - but am debating not even getting the tow package and using my truck as the sole tow vehicle… and maybe upgrade to something bigger.

Yes it definitely adds up quick. My offroad trailer is 2200lb dry and comes in at 3390lbs w/ 400lbs tongue weight when fully loaded.
