Sounds about right for the weight on the NAA and trailer. Check your Grand Cherokee's weight rating. Most larger SUV's will handle 5000 lbs. Hitch weight might be marginal. The U-Haul car carrier has surge brakes, so that will not be an issue.
I've pulled 5000 lbs trailers with small V6 pickups without too much trouble. Just take it easy. Much over that and I want a V8 full size pickup, preferably with a load equalizing hitch.
