Towing capabilities
New to the forum life and to the jeep life!
I have a 2011 wrangler rubicon 4 dr. Factory hitch. 4.10 gearing
From the manual it shows a towing capacity of 3500 lbs, tongue weight of 350 lbs, gcwr 8,431.
Towing capacities do confuse me a bit.
Here is my situation...
I am debating on towing a amaller rv, 1999 cougar 214s.
Specs from the brochure are as follows..
Unloaded vehicle weight is 2,916
Gross gvwr is 4,900
Hitch weight is 340(this concerns me a bit)
Length is 21.6 ft
Freshwater capacity is 30 gal, which I wouldn't fill until my destination.
Can I safely tow this? Should I? Damage to jeep? Or should I just rent a larger pickup truck?
Side note, I do have a 18 ft boat that I tow without issue. It weighs about 2,200 lbs without the trailer. Not sure how much the trailer weighs.
