4 door unlimited sport - 3.73 gears, stock 31" goodyears, 6 speed manual
trying to gauge real experiences on trailer weights you are pulling
I'm thinking of getting a boat the total weight will be between 3000 - 3500 lbs which includes the boat/trailer/gear/gas etc.
manual says can do 3500
most boat /trailers at this weight don't have trailer brakes.
yes, i know there is also the gross vehicle weight too.

i would just assume the jeep would bog down on hills
hows the braking
backing up 3500 lbs with a manual - ? clutch burnout ?

 

Hope this helps...

with 50 gallons she weighs about 4700lbs, does have trailer brakes however.
CAI, Tow tune on the flashpaq, 4.10 gears.
cruises at 65mph no problem, did have to downshift to third for a 6%grade.

 

Towed a trailer (with brakes) 3250 lbs for 3 weeks on vacation with no issues other than slow up some hills.

I don't think it would be good without trailer brakes though

6 spd manual 410 gears and 33" tires

 

I tow my tent trailer at 2500lbs with 3.21 gears and stock tires no problem at all but backing up I have to ride the clutch pretty hard

 

Had over 2500lbs of floor tile in a U-haul, trailer didnt like it too much but the Jeep pulled like a champ, 3.21 gears and stock tires. 4Low will help alot too not ride the clutch when backing up.

 

I thought that the stick was rated at 2,500 lbs and the automatic 3,500 for the JK 4 DR. I tow my 14 foot Carolina Skiff cc with no problem, but I think it weighs in less then 2000 lbs, but any type of evasive movement, feels a bit scary when in tow.
