PghBob. Thanks for the heads up on the show. I'll definitely be there!
With a 2000 pull, I can pull a little guy travel trailer with no issues. Might not be the most comfortable but at 55mph I don't foresee a problem.
That's why I'm asking, researching. If I tow the Wrangler, it will be on a trailer, I'm thinking behind a Class C. Possible? Recommended? It's either that or a travel trailer around 1500 lbs.

I've been trailering my Jeep behind our class C for many years without a problem. I used to flat tow, but trailering suits my needs better.
I chose our 26'C because it had the E450 chassis on the smallest MH available. Same chassis as the longer 29-31' C class, but with less overhang and more unused capacity. The next smaller size is on an E350.
I also added some welds along where the hitch meets the frame to make me feel better. The factory hitch mounts with large bolts only.
It was a compromise because I would rather not have the rear corner bed that comes on the 26'. When I upgrade, I will be looking at Super C motorhomes, but my set up has been working for me. At least 7 other friends in my club are also trailering Jeeps with their class C.

the GCWR is exactly that Gross COMBINED Weight Rating - it is the sum total of all things, jeep, mods, people, gear & trailer. you should not exceed the manufactures GCWR.
Olddub - the trailer (and gear in it) shouldn't exceed 2k according to jeep the entire entourage (jeep/people/trailer etc) shouldn't exceed the GCWR

bshpilot, what I was trying to get at was that tow rating has nothing to do with people and cargo, etc., in the car. According to Jeep data on the web, there is about 1000lbs available for people, etc., and 2000 tow. The tow hitch weight is included in the so called payload rating. Of course this is for the current model, which may be similar.
I got concerned because I have been pulling 2000lbs (almost exactly) for years with my Wranglers, and have loaded the inside with tools, etc., and of course people.
(I'm probably completely missing the point, but I like to type.)
