What have you hauled with your jeep? Think it could handle a 16ft trailer?

I towed a 16ft bayliner with my friends.
I really think pulling it isn't as much of an issue as stopping it...
How are your brakes?

two four wheelers and a dirt bike on a aluminum snowmobile trailer, not a problem. I towed a 12' all steel landscape with a front mount box trailer and it wasn't happy goin up any incline. (I6 5spd)

Ive trailered a 14ft homemade steel trailer with two 500lb snowmobiles on it. It wasnt a problem for me. But yes, stopping will be the issue with a heavy load.

A 24' Big Tex Trailer (weighs 2k) with a ranger on it. The trailer/truck combo easily outweighs my 4000lb XJ

Use to pull my 95 XJ with my 99 XJ. Good brakes on your jeep and the trailer. Buy that I mean as it should be your trailer stops you with out locking up!
