Wranglers are just plain dumb easy to tow stick or auto as long as it is 4x4. No steering wheel lock. No key in the ignition. They track like a dream as long as you don't have an excessive lift kit and oversize tires. If not properly done they can wander. That said, I've seen a lot of lifted Jeeps in tow. Base plates are a do it yourself if you are handy. I'm using a Brake Buddy that I bought in 2007 for supplemental braking.
My target is a 2013 Sahara or Sport.
Looking for the 3.73 axle ratio.
Max tires will be 33" with just a leveling kit.
I tow my TJ with a Blue Ox & the finger brackets bolted to bumper. I also have a brake-buddy but never installed it.
Sounding like the JK's are as easy to tow as the TJ has been! :C
JKU is a lot heavier than a TJ. 1K more.
LOVE my JKUR. It is actually a bit more prevalent than my Grand Cherokee is behind the MH. Even my RAM 1500 tows better than the JK, but the JK isn't bad at all!
You certainly know it is back there, but it tows good.
