Hey fellas.
Finally got my first Jeep back in November (EDIT: 2014 2 door) and endured this rough Midwestern winter just waiting for topless weather and clicking around the forum looking for advice/tips (Weathertech floor liners and 303 Aerospace Protectant have worked wonders). Now it's finally warm and I'm looking to have a little fun on the lake, but before I do, I have a few questions for you guys regarding towing seeing as how I'd like to tow a jet ski & trailer this summer.
1. What kind of hitch is recommended/prefferred? Usual caveats of cost, ease of installation, durability, etc.
2. In addition to a hitch, what else will I need to add to be able to tow?
3. Any tips on towing with a Jeep? I've heard horror stories of a short weel base and I'm just looking for any help I can get going in.
4. Will I have any issues of overheating transmission fluid while towing? (automatic transmission)
Thanks in advance for your help fellas. Hopefully this becomes somewhat of a guide to towing for Jeep newbies like myself.
