Sometimes, a trailer can be too 'light'. Our 1928 is a tad over 2000kgs. And close to your target weight if it has the light tiwer, winch and electrical recovery kit.

If you have a purpose built trailer, you can use the structural integrity of the load to make the combination work together. As long as the axles are up to task.

Rather than having to build a trailer that is strong enough to carry a random load which would have to be much stronger.

On the up side, you can argue a case that a specialist trailer is much more likely to be where you left it when you get back to it. There was an old Rayco (I think) trailer sat in a council yard for several years and despite many "scote" raids no one took it, the owners didn't even know what it was.

 

It also has the advantage that you can max the trailer weight out without the danger of someone putting it over weight with a log or 5.
