I would not go over 55 MPH and avoid sharp quick turns. Good advice. I have seen people get themselves in trouble with pop-ups, especially when not on asphalt most likely because, although compact, they are heavy for their size and will try to resist shifting directions.

Older Forester could tow 2000 lbs but newer ones are rated higher. She's got room to spare.
I would make sure the wiring harness is compatible with the braked-trailer. Class II only comes with a 4-plug connector, and you may need the round 9-plug type, or an adaptor.
In fact, you may want to see if the trailer folks install hitches, then you know it'll match up.
