IS MY JEEP SAFE TO TOW A CAMPER????

It's interesting to me that there is an engineer that actually worked on development of the vehicle in question who says it should be OK within certain parameters and everyone ignores what he is saying.

I agree with another poster that said you should rent first and try it out. It's a cheap way to validate your decision making process and avoid a costly mistake.

It's also interesting that, from what I read, basically nobody who said "no you can't" seems to own a Jeep GC or did 15 years ago which makes their experience irrelevant. So many people seem to think you can't tow anything unless you have a Ram 3500.

I've got a 2015 GC that is rated for 6200lbs. Last year we bought a 4500lb trailer and towed it for over 12 000km last year across the United States and Canada. A lot of the time towing was easy and great. Going up a huge hill/mountain slowed us down but we made it no problem. Driving into a strong wind sucked, but again we never felt like we wouldn't make it.

We never weighed the trailer when it was loaded up with food and clothes and all that, but I'm guessing it would be about 5500kbs or so. I wouldn't want to go over 6 000lbs but if you can shed a few pounds And ensure your under the max payload I think you'd have no issue towing with the GC.
