It states in the manual that the weights may differ depending on your country (or words to that effect).
I've got a braked box trailer with a payload of 1150kg iirc. She tows a treat but its like a big air brake sometimes. If you're going new then i'm sure you are anyway but i'd go for a twin axle. Mine is single and it is horrible when loaded near to its limit. It takes some moving too when laden. Once you eventually get it up to a sensible speed it tows fine and cruises lovely. I take the approach personally that i don't fancy doing more than 45/50 anyway with potentially 2500kg train to reign in.
I just moved house with mine and the only problem would be the clutch suffered a bit when reversing especially as theres a bit of a slope on my drive.
It also depends on your licence as it falls foul of it if you're on a post 97.
Here she is on tow duty:
The big williams trailer i was just moving for someone, its a brillian trailer and i didn't even need the brakes on the car to slow down. If i backed off the trailer slowed me enough!

I reckon this is about right for the Jimny, 85kgs!
5 Spring with 700kgs rated carrying capacity.
