2022 Jeep Wrangler Towing Capacity
Whether you need to tow a camper or an ATV trailer, you can be sure the Wrangler has you covered. With a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds when properly equipped, this impressive vehicle certainly has what it takes to get to your favorite trails and camping spots with ease.
What Can I Tow With the 2-Door Jeep Wrangler?
All 2-door Jeep Wrangler models can tow up to 2,000 pounds when properly equipped. With this tow rating, you can hitch up some of your favorite watersports and adventure toys:
- Jet ski
- Teardrop trailer
- Pop-up tent trailer
- Snowmobile
- Dirt bike
Remember to check the weight on any item you want to hitch to your 2-door Wrangler. Some teardrop trailers, for instance, weigh more than 2,000 pounds and would need a more powerful towing machine—like the 4-door Wrangler—to tow them safely.
What Can I Tow With the 4-Door Jeep Wrangler?
All 4-door Jeep Wrangler models can tow up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped. This is the model’s max tow rating, and it will allow you to comfortably tow:
- Jet skis
- Teardrop trailer
- Small hard-side RV
- Small aluminum fishing boat
Once again, be sure to check the weight of the item you plan to tow before you hitch it up to the Wrangler. Make sure it doesn’t exceed the max towing capacity of your 4-door Jeep Wrangler.
Which Wrangler Trims Are 2-Door and 4-Door?
None of the Jeep Wrangler trim levels are available only as 2-door models. The handful that are available as 2-door models are also available as 4-door models, so you’ll be able to choose how many doors—and how much towing capacity—you want from your Wrangler.
The Wrangler trims that double as 2-door and 4-door models include:
- Sport
- Willys Sport
- Sport S
- Willys
- Rubicon
However, several Wrangler trims—in fact, most of them—are only available as 4-door models. These extended-wheelbase Wrangler trim levels include:
- Sport Altitude
- Sahara
- Sport RHD
- Sahara Altitude
- High Tide (Limited Edition)
- High Altitude
- Rubicon 392
With any of these trims, you’ll automatically have the potential to tow up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped.
What Can’t the Jeep Wrangler Tow?
Some common recreational toys cannot be towed by the Jeep Wrangler. For instance, water ski boats tend to weigh 5,000 to 6,000 pounds, and some weigh quite a bit more than that. You’ll need a more muscular vehicle, like the Jeep Grand Cherokee or the Grand Cherokee L, to tow one.
Larger RVs, including toy haulers and fifth-wheel campers, cannot be towed by the Wrangler, either. As with the largest boats, you’ll need a pickup truck to tow these oversized recreational toys.
Payload and Cargo Volume
A max payload of 1,351 pounds means you’ll easily be able to load all the camping supplies, grocery bags, and luggage you’ll need for the journey. Plus, the generous amount of cargo room in the Jeep Wrangler makes sure everything has its place without intruding on anyone’s personal space.
Here are the cargo volume dimensions for the 4-door and 2-door Wrangler models:
- 4-door (rear seats folded): 72.4 cu. ft.
- 4-door (rear seats upright): 31.7 cu. ft.
- 2-door (rear seats folded): 31.7 cu. ft.
- 2-door (rear seats upright): 12.9 cu. ft.
If you’ll need more cargo space—in addition to a higher Jeep Wrangler towing capacity—the 4-door model makes sense. With up to 72.4 cubic feet of space at your disposal, you can transport fishing poles and even items of furniture when you’re helping friends or family members move.
2022 Jeep Wrangler MPG
When you’re getting from Point A to Point B, you’ll want to be sure the vehicle you’re driving can hold its own in terms of gas mileage. This is certainly the case with the Jeep Wrangler.
While old-time Wrangler models had a reputation for being gas guzzlers, that is no longer the case as more fuel-efficient powertrains have joined the lineup. The 2022 Wrangler offers the most economical engines yet:
- 2.0L Turbo engine with ESS: EPA-estimated 21 city/24 hwy MPG
- 3.0L EcoDiesel engine with ESS: EPA-estimated 22 city/29 hwy MPG
- 4xe (plug-in hybrid electric): Manufacturer-estimated 49 combined MPGe in EV mode
While even more engines are available, including the trusty 3.6L Pentastar® V6 and the Rubicon 392’s monstrous 6.7L HEMI® V8, these are the most fuel-efficient engines for the Wrangler.
With numbers like these, you won’t have to worry about where you’ll find the next gas station. Instead, you’ll be able to fully enjoy the scenery wherever the road takes you.
