I'm trying to see if either are capable of towing a 21-28 foot boat. I'm assuming the 2 door is not.What is the towing capacity of 2 door Jeep Wrangler vs. the 4 door Unlimited Wrangler?
When properly equipped the Wrangler is rated at 2,000 lbs (http://www.jeep.com/en/2009/wrangler/cap鈥?/a> and 3,500lbs (http://www.jeep.com/en/2009/wrangler_unl鈥?/a> Unlimited
I can almost grantee that a 21' to 28' boat will exceed that, I have a 19' bass boat and it weighs 1600lbs without the trailer add another 500lbs for the trailer bringing you to 2100lbs.
You will have the power to tow much more but you won't have the weight to control it or stop it. The Wrangler has the same 6 cylinder engine that can be found in the Grand Cherokee, the reason for the weight difference is the weight of the vehicle.
In short.....3,500 lbs your not going to SAFELY tow a 21 - 28' boatWhat is the towing capacity of 2 door Jeep Wrangler vs. the 4 door Unlimited Wrangler?
you can look at the owners manual at jeep.com for owners section. It depends on if you have the towing package with the 3.73 gear set and upgraded suspension. The 2 door with this package is only rated at 2,000. The four door is rated for 3,500 lbs. Pretty big difference. Those without the towing package are only rated for 1000 lbs. See how much your boat weighs.
Depending on what type of boat is is, you should be under 3k lbs. My last boat was a 21ft with and inboard 4.3 and it totalled 2800 lbs with trailer.What is the towing capacity of 2 door Jeep Wrangler vs. the 4 door Unlimited Wrangler?
You won't like towing with the 2 door,I would get a 4 door.The short wheelbase of the 2 door will cause trailer sway.
