The Jeep Wrangler may be known for its top-notch off-road capability, but it also has a remarkable towing capacity that can handle all your weekend adventures.
Drivers in Worcester, Auburn, and Shrewsbury can learn more about the Jeep Wrangler towing capacity with this towing review from Harr Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram.
Jeep Wrangler Engines and Performance
The Jeep Wrangler comes with a 285-horsepower Pentastar® V6 engine as its base option. There’s also an optional version of the base engine that has a mild hybrid eTorque system that boosts torque. To gain more power, you can opt for the available 270-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine that makes more torque and offers greater low-end acceleration.
The range-topping gas option is an available 470-horsepower HEM® V8 that has 470 lb-ft of torque, which takes performance to the next level. Another option is the available diesel V6 engine that offers some of the best capability of the lineup. With the new model year, the Wrangler offers an available plug-in hybrid that makes 375 horsepower with a four-cylinder engine, two electric motors, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The base engine is equipped with a six-speed manual transmission, while the rest of the lineup gets a smooth eight-speed automatic transmission.
Jeep Wrangler Towing and Capability
The two-door Wrangler model can tow up to 2,000 pounds when properly equipped. The four-door model offers 3,500 pounds of towing capacity. Depending on which you choose, you’ll have the capacity for an aluminum or fiberglass boat trailer, a small utility trailer, a small camper, or even a bumper-pull horse trailer with a horse or two loaded.
The Jeep Wrangler is an iconic off-road vehicle that offers plenty of capability on the trails. Every model offers skid plates, full-time four-wheel drive, and a transfer case for enhanced capability, but the best option is the Rubicon 392 model. This is the off-road-specialized model that provides the most power, capability, and off-road features.
Jeep Wrangler Safety Features
The Wrangler has numerous safety features on offer that are helpful for towing. When you have the added weight and length of a trailer, you need to plan your route more carefully and account for braking, changing lanes, and parking.
All Wrangler models include a rearview camera as standard equipment, which helps you with parking and aids with hooking up a trailer. You can add available blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, a feature that warns you if there’s a pedestrian or vehicle in your blind spot when changing lanes or reversing. Forward-collision warning is also available, which alerts you of potential frontal collisions and applies the brakes automatically to mitigate the impact. Another available feature is adaptive cruise control, a feature that adjusts your speed to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead on the highway.
