Jeep Liberty 2011 Tow Package

User guide tells me with the Tow Package I can pull 5000 pounds, without 2000. How true is this? Will I kill my car if I pull a 4000 pound trailer without this? Is up hill the problem??????

What is in the Tow Package and how much should it cost me??? Thanks anyone.
  • If I remember correctly, back a few years ago when I was looking at jeeps as tow vehicles, there was a sentence in the manual that mentioned a 32' frontal max max when towing. That's about 8'X4' .

    Just checked... see page 403 of your manual.

    Edit to add - with the trailer tow package it can be up to 8'X8' or 64 sq. ft.
  • I would ask about the tow package on a site like LOSTjeeps.com. Not sure what. The difference is with the gas version.

    the way I read it - with the tow package, the Jeeps Liberty's towing capacity is 5000 pounds. without the tow package, the capacity is 2000 pounds. really kind of easy to figure out.


    Now that you explain it, it is simple. Though it does seem strange that the tow package would add that much capacity to such a small vehicle.

    As to what the tow package will include, you'll have to call the Jeep / Dodge dealer. Tow packages vary from vehicle to vehicle. It could include the hitch itself, the trailer electrical plug in, a trailer brake controller, transmission cooler and possibly other items.
