There's a huge debate about what my vehicle can tow or not. I can't seem to get an accurate answer through Google and I'm getting a ton of anecdotal replies.
Does anyone here have a Jeep Wrangler TJ that they use to tow? Anyone with a Jeep newer than 2006 has a JK and that has a different towing capacity, especially the 4 door models. So anyone out there with a 1999 to 2006 Jeep TJ (not an LJ) with the 4 liter inline 6 cylinder engine (we have a standard transmission and our Jeep has a 2" lift and 31" mudding tires), what do you tow and what's your towing experience like? I'm not worried about fuel economy, our Jeep already does horribly on that when it's not even pulling anything haha.
We have a pop-up trailer that weighs about 1,350 lbs unloaded and a class 3 hitch on our Jeep. We won't be putting anything more into our trailer than bedding. We keep our gear in the Jeep (years of tent camping means we're light packers). We would never tow more than 1,500 lbs because I don't think it can handle that.
We're looking to replace our second vehicle since it's dying (first owners of a 2002 Civic that we've run into the ground) and will be getting a vehicle that can tow between 3,500 to 5,000 lbs but until we find the right secondary vehicle all we have is our Jeep TJ.
