Calculating Towing Capacity
It takes powerful engineering to tow your ATVs, kayaks, and other fun toys. While it’s often listed on its own, a vehicle’s towing capacity is measured based on other measurements. The Jeep Wrangler is built to live up to the task thanks to its quality mechanical design. The standard 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine lies at the heart of this tough SUV.

As you might expect, stronger engines with more power are typically capable of towing more. The vehicle’s weight also plays an important role in towing capacity. Its weight rating must exceed the weight of the trailer you plan to tow. Weight rating is calculated based on curb weight (weight without passengers or cargo) and gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR).
Jeep Wrangler Engineering
We’ve already seen how the Jeep Wrangler can perform. The 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine is one of four available choices, each with its own fierce power and towing capability. We also know that the greater the difference between a vehicle’s GVWR and curb weight, the more it can tow.
The Wrangler has a curb weight of 3,948 pounds and a GVWR of 5,000 pounds. That’s a significant difference, meaning you can tow heavy trailers as a result.
For added control over your trailer and while off the beaten path, the Jeep Wrangler offers the available full-time Selec-Trac® 4x4 System. This drivetrain gives you sporty 2-wheel drive on smooth surfaces and delivers power to all four wheels once you head off to the dirt. You can conquer off-road paths confidently while bringing your gear along for the journey.

When properly equipped, the Jeep Wrangler features a towing capacity of up to 3,500 pounds. This impressive capacity means you can have your essential gear along for the ride, making the journey more fun for you and your passengers.
