I made another phone call to a different jeep dealer, gave them my vin and they told me 6,200 lbs. That my vehicle has the upgraded cooling system. Thought cooling systems didn't change the towing capacity.
It is within the 'losses' of doing work...you get 'hot' when 'working' out
Your body has thermal management in the form of sweating, panting, etc to manage your body temp. Of which has a 'range' that it is designed to work within. Too cold and too hot will put your body out it's specification for thermal range it works best at
Same thing for any vehicle.
Plus they 'burn' fuel to do do that work, but that is an oblique to your question
In doing that 'work', your TV has losses to deal with and those losses come in the form of 'heat'. Frictional, pumping, etc any kind of resistance it has to overcome
Your body will reject that generated heat via sweat, pant, radiate from the skin, etc
Your TV will reject that generated heat via radiators, surface differentials, etc, etc
That is all part of the 'duty cycle' your OEM's designers dialed in, tested to and certified to via the specifications. Of which your warranty is based on
Another part of that missing in this discussion is the gear ratio's involved that contribute directly to your question
Higher numeric ratios (lower gears) will have multiply the engine's torque more...therefore will have more power...
Those are the basic's to the answer to your question...there are many other attributes...
