aarchdale@coresleep.com Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 Jeep tow ratings make no since, they go off the gears they put in from the factory. I can go buy a new two door with a tow rating of 3500. Just because it has 4.10's, and a small increase in power. Mine doesnt squat at all in the rear and tow perfectly straight. I drag my boat all over the place the last 4 years with no issues. My boat is over 2000 with everything packed in it. Even in 2007 when my jeep was new if i would have got the "tow package" from jeep, all it means is they slapped 4.10's and a $50 hitch on the back. Crazy how they come up with the factory ratings. Heck i tow my dads 19ft glass boat down to Bull occasionally. No issues at all.
176champion Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 I use to tow my 17'6" champion with a Ford Ranger with no problem, even pulling out of a ramp it never struggled, my ranger is rated for like 5700 pound tow...4 liter with 4:10 gears super cab 4x4 245/75 R 16 tires. Only issue i had is boat trailer has no brakes and going down hill into a sharp turn boat wanted to push truck sideways, haven't tried towing my 190 champion yet with it. I know everything about nothing and know nothing about everything! Bruce Philips
