I have a 15 JK 2 DR.
I do not have a trailer hitch mounted but looking for one that will allow me to tow 3k pounds.

I need to pick up a Ford GPW about 90 miles away. I was planning on renting a trailer from Uhaul.

The trailer weighs about 1700 lbs.
The GPW weight will be around 15-1700 lbs.

Is this safe to do on a 2 door?
Can someone lead me into the right direction if so, and what trailer hitchers I might be able to get?

Also I have upgraded suspension all around with Bilstein shocks and a skyjacker lift kit.

Thanks, Jordan

 

I like curt hitches myself. Just go slow and you should be fine.

3000# is over the GVWR for a 2 door. I think the max is 2k. A 4dr with a tow package is only rated at 3500# with a 300# tongue weight.

 

That weight seems really dicey to me. Have you double checked that uhaul will even allow you to pull their trailer with a 2dr?

 

While it may technically be "doable" I wouldn't try it.

 

No longer true sir. This picture is directly from the 2015 sales brochure, note the weight limit if equipped with the tow package (likely a harness and hitch as years before).



Is it a great idea? Probably not. Will it work? Sure. I've pulled that kind of weight with an older JK and I live to talk about it.

 

Uhaul will let you tow a trailer as long as you have a hard top on....

How did you get around their corporate policy about soft tops? Picked the trailer up with the red one, then swapped it to the jeep?

 

..I've dropped off a trailer with the top down just gotta pick it up with a different vehicle lol
