Beck - some good points made here about consideration of terrain. Given your location in southeastern PA, and depending on where you fish, you may be fine with the Liberty. I know a lot of folks will tell you that more capacity is better, which is generally true, but it sounds like you need a multipurpose vehicle with light towing being only one of the many uses planned.
As someone that tows with smaller capacity vehicles (Nissan Murano and Olds Silhouette minivan - both rated 3500lbs), I can tell you that properly equipped, such vehicles can haul fine up to the load limit. For example, I've had to tow the family's 19' deck boat from Maryland to central Virginia. The deck boat and trailer is over 3,000 pounds fully loaded, but both vehicles handled the load fine. I will add that the trailer has surge brakes, which I would want regardless of what Virginia law requires (in VA, trailers with loads over 3,000 pounds must be equipped with brakes). I've also towed my G3 bass boat (weight about 2,400 pounds on trailer) from Ohio to Virginia and up and down I-95 between Richmond and DC. Again, both vehicles do just fine. So unless you are towing long distances on a regular basis over very hilly terrain, a Liberty may work out fine. I will add that I'm not a fan of Chrysler vehicles, but that's more personal preference than anything else.
