Jeep in the Back
Anybody tow a Jeep behind their 5th wheel - 4 down? Just curious how well it does. I've seen a couple of horror stories where one rolled, but since then I've seen a few on the road.

ya I haven't weighed the Jeep - its a 71 with the V6, so probably around 2,000?
I did triple with a 20' I/0 boat ~4,000 lbs with a shorter fifth wheel. It towed nice, but ultimately it was pretty hard on the truck.
1971 with a V6??? Jeeps have had the 4.1 inline 6 since the 1950's, the Merc V6 was not used until about 2006! My 2009 that I used to tow weighed in at around 3,800 LBS! Typically standard bumbers on 5th wheels would not stand up to 3800 LBS. Please check actual weight and your manufacturers spec's for the bumber!
