Show your jk tow rigs
Interested to see what people are using to tow their jk. My gf just bought a f150 with 8000 pound tow capacity. Started researching trailers.

Im pretty sure a 4 door cannot tow a 2 door om a trailer. Im worried a little about girlfriends supercab V8 being enough balls since these jeeps r heavy. Mine is about 4800 pounds. Add a trailer and im up to 7000

I have seen a few guys in our club tow from Erie to Rausch Creek with 1/2 ton trucks. My recommendation is at least a brake controller. The truck will pull fine just needs some boost in the stopping area. And it wasn't the wisest thing I've ever done but I pulled a car hauler with a Honda Accord and around 1500 extra pounds of stereo equipment 2.5 hours away with a 4.0 V6 Ford Ranger with Thornbirds on it. Oh, the dumb things we do when we are young!

I think I'm going to try to find a used Penske diesel box truck. Close off part of the box and turn it into a small sleeping area, then turn the rest of the back into a small shop (tools, fluids and spare parts) and tow the JK on a trailer behind it.
