Jeep Wrangler Towing Capacity
If you’re looking for adventure in the New Holland, Lancaster, and Reading areas, you need a vehicle that can handle rough driving conditions. Some of the best trips require a bit of off-road travel. While there are plenty of vehicles that can handle the journey, nothing conquers rough terrain quite like a Jeep Wrangler.
The Wrangler has been the iconic face of off-roading vehicles for decades, but the latest models feature capabilities that even Wranglers of the past never had. One of those features is an enhanced towing capacity that’s absolutely essential if you need to bring along some extra cargo on your next adventure. Learn all about the Jeep Wrangler towing capacity and discover if it’s enough for your needs from the team here at New Holland Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram.

Maximum Towing Capacity
When properly equipped, the Wrangler’s towing capacity is quite impressive for its size. At most, the 2020 Jeep Wrangler can tow up to 3,500 pounds, but there are several factors that go into that figure. First, you’ll need a Wrangler equipped with the proper towing package add-on. Additionally, you’ll need to opt for a 4-door model.
If you get a 2-door model Wrangler, the towing capacity maxes out at 2,000 pounds. Again, that’s only when it’s equipped with the appropriate tow package. In fact, towing isn’t recommended at all unless it’s properly equipped, so make sure you do that if you plan to use your next Wrangler for towing.
Wrangler Customizability
When drivers are looking to maximize towing capacity as much as possible, they’re typically restricted to a single configuration. For example, often they have to opt for the most powerful engine or choose a trim level loaded with other features they’re not really interested in just for the towing capacity. With the Wrangler, the 3,500-pound towing capacity only depends on it being a 4-door model.
As long as your Wrangler has four doors, virtually any other variations shouldn’t affect your towing capacity. For example, you can choose the standard V6 engine or opt for the 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, and your towing capacity won’t be impacted at all. You’re also free to choose between manual and automatic transmission without affecting your Wrangler’s towing capacity.
Jeep Wrangler Trailering Safety Features
Not only is the Jeep Wrangler powerful enough to tow plenty of cargo, but it also offers plenty of safety features to make towing even easier.
One of the key features aboard this off-road SUV is Trailer Sway Control. This system uses sensors to detect when your trailer is swaying so your SUV can apply the brakes to even out your trailer. Driving on the highway is so much easier with the help of this system.
