TOW GENIUS

Tow vehicle model guide

Jeep Wrangler towing guide

Wrangler tow ratings vary sharply by body style and configuration. A properly equipped four-door model may carry a much higher rating than a two-door Wrangler.

maximum available towing on properly equipped four-door Rubicon models

Up to 5,000 lbMaximum or component ratings are not the rating for every configuration. Verify the exact vehicle and load.

Why the number changes

  • Two-door and four-door Wranglers have different wheelbases and tow ratings; do not apply a four-door maximum to a two-door vehicle.
  • Trim, axle ratio, powertrain, tire package, and factory towing equipment can change the permitted trailer weight.
  • Wrangler payload can be modest after passengers, doors or tops carried onboard, recovery gear, accessories, hitch hardware, and tongue weight are counted.
