[8)]I have been towing a 2000# tent trailer for the last 4 years, first with my '01 and lately with my new GT rag top. The '01 is equiped with electrical trailer brakes but the rag top is not. I have not noticed any real difference between the to as far as braking. The turbo definetly goes up hills better but the non turbo works OK.
The only real problem as far as I can see is being not able to see over or around the trailer so I have to be real careful changing lanes.
I had a pickup truck passenger mirror glass cut to size and glued it on the drivers side of both of my PTs what a big difference it made. I also did it for my '98 Durango.
Good luck towing you should have no problems. I wouldn't sweat the weight issue very much. When the PTs first came out the 5 speeds were rated to tow 1500# in Europe and the autos 1000#. I don't know why the US was different.
I would suggest though that electric trailer brakes are a good idea.
