I have a 2010 dr with a superchips programmer and it does the job. I wish I had the new motor as it has 40% more torque! You will have no issues. I tow a 1800 pound pop up camper and I do alright.

I've got a 2012 auto with 4.10's. I pull a 5 x 10 utility trailer with a Toro 42" mower on-board. Hard to say what it weighs but probably a little over 1000 lbs. It pulls with little effort and more importantly it stops fine.

I regularly tow a 19.5 ft. Bayliner boat behind my Rubicon and it does just fine on the flat but hills bog you down quite a bit. One thing that I noticed is that backing the boat is really a snap with the short wheelbase.

I have a 2dr 6spd with 3.21s and tow my 5x8 utility trailer with a 1200lb Scag commercial mower onboard. I think the tow rating is supposed to be 1000lbs with the 3.21s but it does just fine, both going and stopping.
