How Much Weight Can a Jeep Wrangler Tow?
The Jeep Wrangler towing capacity is a maximum of 5,000 pounds1 for the 2025 model year. This is achievable on four-door Rubicon models. In other four-door configurations, the Jeep Wrangler tow capacity is still a hefty 3,500 pounds,1 while all two-door versions are limited to 2,000 pounds.1
Always ensure your load is within your Wrangler SUV's tow rating. However, for context, the following commonly towed loads may still fit within the lower 2,000-pound1 limit:
- A jet ski on a single-watercraft trailer
- A small travel camper with supplies
- Two or three dirt bikes on a trailer

- A small to medium travel camper
- An average bass boat on a trailer
- Two jet skis and supplies on a trailer

The next question on drivers' minds is likely about what powers this capability. The Jeep Wrangler towing capacity is backed by an impressive engine – one of three engines, to be precise.
The first is a standard 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine that produces 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. An available 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine boosts the power to 270 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque.
A 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder plug-in hybrid engine develops 375 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque in 4xe models: The hybrid Jeep Wrangler 4xe towing capacity is a maximum of 3,500 pounds, regardless of trim.1
However, the towing capacity of a Jeep Wrangler is still a maximum of 5,000 pounds1 whether you choose a four-door Rubicon model with the Pentastar V-6 or turbo four-cylinder (non-hybrid) engine. Meanwhile, the other four-door models top out at 3,500 pounds1 with either engine. So what makes this difference? Read on to find out.
