My rocket scientist buddy (and occasional endurance rider) tows with  
his Dodge Ram 3/4t and a 2 horse Brenderup.  His firm analyzes rocket  
and aircraft failure for a living.

Here's something he said a while ago, the last time we talked about  
his trailer, he really likes it:

>>Still it's not for everyone, we may well not have bought one if we  
already
had the truck. We hauled with the Caravan for a few years. On the  
other hand
it's really nice to be able to hitch it to anything and go - not have to
worry about brakes [compatibility with truck braking systems-ed.].  
For emergency purposes we have three tow vehicles, have
even towed a short distance with the Wrangler once.<<
