Jeep Towing Guide: What You Can (and Can’t) Tow Safely
If you’re an adventurer at heart, you’re probably wondering, what can a Jeep® tow? After all, some of the best excursions require the biggest toys. We’ve developed a guide at Helfman Dodge Chrysler Jeep RAM FIAT to help you determine what your Jeep SUV or truck can safely tow.
Your Particular Model
Naturally, when it comes to towing capacities, it can vary drastically depending on which of the new Jeep models you own. Those capacities can range from 2,000 pounds in a compact SUV model to the range-topping 10,000-pound towing capacity in the Wagoneer. It’s crucial to check the towing capacities outlined in your owner’s manual so that you know exactly how much your vehicle can tow.
Your Vehicle’s Equipment
It’s also important to check the specific equipment installed on your vehicle. After all, your towing capacity could change drastically with the right genuine Jeep accessories. Our team is happy to help you outfit your truck or SUV with the towing equipment you need. In fact, we carry many of these parts and accessories at our dealership and can ensure they’re expertly installed as well.
Compact SUV Towing Power
Even the compact SUVs in the Jeep lineup have some serious strength. In fact, you can tow so many things with a 2,000-pound towing capacity. You can tow many trailers, ATVs, and even some small campers and boats. When you tow, make sure that you carefully consider the amount of your trailer, what it is carrying, and the weight of everyone and everything in your cabin.
Jeep Wrangler Towing Prowess
We know that many drivers think of the Jeep Wrangler first when they think of off-roading. The Jeep Wrangler also boasts impressive towing power. Depending on the model you choose, it can tow between 3,500 and 5,000 pounds, when properly equipped. With a 5,000-pound capacity, you can tow a 20-foot camper, a four-horse trailer, and even some midsize boats.
