Jake,
That's funny about the reunion. Yeah, time flies.
I haven't weighed my 213, maybe someone who has can chime in. Gene (I think) weighed his TL and reported it was a bit over 9,000 lbs. The GCWR (gross combination weight rating) for the chassis is 16,000 lbs. That means that with the right hitch, a 9,000 lb TL would be able to tow up to 7,000 lbs.! But, we only have 3,500 lb. hitches. I looked at the hitch, and the weld attachment is pretty flimsy. I think a good welder could strengthen it to make it effectively a 5,000 lb. hitch. Or a 5,000 lb. hitch could be installed in place of the OEM one. Then you could tow your Wrangler with ease.
I just bought a Ford Focus, about 3,000 lbs., and intend to tow it on our longer trips where we will be sitting for days at a time.
