Updates to the 2024 Wrangler Towing Capacity

Jeep has made significant changes and additions to the Wrangler’s towing capabilities in response to customer feedback and industry trends. The new 2024 Jeep Wrangler offers a more capable towing experience. The maximum tow rating for a properly equipped vehicle is now up to 5,000 pounds. This is a significant improvement compared to previous model years, where the Wrangler’s towing capacity fell short compared to its competitors.

This increase in towing capacity is thanks to several upgrades and additions made by Jeep. The brand has incorporated a more robust frame and suspension and upgraded the brakes and axles to handle the added towing weight. The 2024 Wrangler also includes a more potent engine and transmission, providing ample power and torque for towing heavy loads with ease. These changes make the 2024 Wrangler a more capable and reliable option if you want to tow with your vehicle.

Towing Capacity by Trim

The 2024 Jeep Wrangler is available in several trim levels, each with its unique towing capacity. Here’s a breakdown of the towing capacity for each trim level:

• Sport: This trim offers a favorable towing capacity for various terrains and activities. The two-door model can hold up to 2,000 pounds, ideal for weekend excursions, while the four-door variant increases the towing capacity to 3,500 pounds, perfect for handling larger loads.
• Sport S: The towing capacity of the Sport S mirrors that of the Sport, with the two-door model able to tow up to 2,000 pounds and the four-door model towing up to 3,500 pounds.
• Willys: Like the Sport trims, the Willys can tow up to 2,000 pounds with its two-door model and up to 3,500 pounds with its four-door model.
• Sahara: This trim is only available in a four-door model that can tow up to 3,500 pounds.
• Rubicon: Known for its unmatched off-road capabilities, this trim can now boast an improved towing capability. The four-door model can tow up to 3,500 pounds, matching the other trims and providing the versatility that Jeep Wrangler owners desire.
• Rubicon X: The latest addition, Rubicon X, continues the trend with a similar towing capacity of 2,000 pounds for the two-door model and 3,500 pounds for the larger four-door variant, effectively accommodating your small and large towing needs.
• Rubicon 392: The Rubicon 392, an exclusive trim level, is only available in a four-door model. It maintains an impressive towing capacity of 3,500 pounds, making it an excellent choice if you require superior off-road performance and substantial towing capabilities.

The 2024 Jeep Wrangler promises thrilling off-road adventures and elevates its towing capabilities, particularly in the four-door Rubicon models equipped with the 3.6-liter V-6 or the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engines. These models can confidently tow up to 5,000 pounds, demonstrating that the Wrangler is an exceptional off-roader and a capable and reliable tow vehicle.

Exploring the Towing Potential of the 2024 Jeep Wrangler

Depending on the trim level and engine you choose, the 2024 Jeep Wrangler’s improved towing capacity opens up many possibilities for what you can tow. Here’s an overview of the recreational vehicles, gear, and work-related items the Wrangler can handle:

• ATV hauler trailers: An average ATV hauler weighs between 600 and 1,500 pounds, and the average weight of an ATV is around 700 pounds. The Wrangler is perfectly capable of transporting your ATV to your off-road playground.
• Teardrop or lightweight campers: These compact campers typically weigh between 1,200 and 2,000 pounds, an easy feat for any 2024 Wrangler.
• Utility trailers or small campers: Weighing between 1,000 and 3,000 pounds, these campers might be challenging for two-door models, but those with the semi-float axle will easily manage.
• Fishing boats: Boat weights can range broadly from 900 to 6,000 pounds, depending on size. Always confirm your boat’s weight and the Wrangler’s towing capacity before embarking on your fishing trip.
• Toy haulers: Motorcycle trailers usually weigh between 1,300 and 3,500 pounds, and personal watercraft trailers range from 800 to 3,000 pounds.
• Travel trailers: The average travel trailer weighs between 1,900 and 4,500 pounds, which is well within the towing capacity of the 2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon.
