Looking to tow a AR195 w/2020 Jeep Rubicon

[Raen]

Hey Everyone,

I'm new to the Forum and wanted to see if anyone on here could help me with some feedback on my vehicle.

I'm looking to purchase a 2019-2021 AR195 and tow it with a 2020 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. I live in San Diego, CA and will be towing it at most 2-4 miles to the bay. I know it's getting really close to the max 3500 tow capacity. Is there anything I should know about or do you think it's fine?

Thanks for the help

Dry weight on the trailer is 3200lbs, 250 lbs for a full tank of fuel. So you are right at the tow capacity and probably above the max tongue weight of the truck. Not to mention the payload of those jeeps are low, like 1000lbs. Will it work? Yes. Will it be comfortable? Probably not. Stopping is also an issue as is a steep ramp if you don't have 4WD. I would recommend getting a beater truck to tow it

Can a 2019 195 be towed (and not exceed any limits) with a 2009 Ford Escape that has a 3500 pound rating? I would be doing this for about 1 season and mostly 10 mile trips to the ramp and one or two 50 mile trips. The next season I would be upgrading to a larger SUV.
