Borderline weight issues with Jeep

I am considering a 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara with 3.21 gears to use as my towing vehicle for a 16.5 Double Eagle Fiberglass boat. Boat on trailer loaded for fishing is around 2000 pounds. Jeep is rated for 2000 pounds as well.

This is the four door jeep with stock wheels and tires, basically a town and country car and not used in the rough ever.

Any and all comments appreciated. If I get the 3.73 rear end the tow rating jumps to 3500 pounds. Also Jeep becomes more capable if larger tires are installed.

thanks, mike
