Hello, we have a 2004 BT cruiser 5250, it currently has a class 2 hitch with max weight of 3500 lbs. We are setting it up to tow our 2013 manual Jeep Wrangler. We have weighed both jeep and almost ...
1. Not appreciably. Half the weight of the tow bar, half the weight of the safety chains/cables, and the weight of the "moustache" rock deflector if you use one.
