keep in mind the longer wheel base is heavier as well. this changes the traction on the tires and balance of the tower vs the towed. i think if the trailer had its own braking system, then you should be able to no problem.The TJ's maximum safe tow weight is 2,000 lbs. That limit is there due to the Wrangler's short wheelbase as the brakes and engine are the same as used in longer-wheelbase models of Jeeps that have significantly higher towing limits.
Towing a heavy load like a 21' boat or that Mustang behind a SWB Wrangler would be a great opportunity to learn what the phrase 'the tail wagging the dog' means when you have to do an emergency maneuver.![]()
Yall can do it if ya want, but if you're towing through Mississippi, warn me and I'll stay off the roads 'til yall are out of here. I don't like living dangerously anymore.keep in mind the longer wheel base is heavier as well. this changes the traction on the tires and balance of the tower vs the towed. i think if the trailer had its own braking system, then you should be able to no problem.
