How to read these numbers

Worked example for the Rubicon 4-door 4x4 with the 2.0L turbo I4, 270 hp: a trailer at its full 5,000 lb rating puts about 600 lb on the hitch at 12 percent tongue weight. Add two adults at 350 lb and 950 lb of its 1,298 lb payload is used, leaving 348 lb for cargo and gear.

Full explanations: what GVWR means, GVWR vs GCWR vs payload and how tongue weight eats payload.

Frequently asked questions

How much can a 2025 Jeep Wrangler tow?

Up to 5,000 lb when properly equipped. The lowest-rated configuration listed (2-door (all engines), 3.6L V6 or 2.0L turbo, 4x4) is rated at 2,000 lb, and the highest (Rubicon 4-door, 2.0L turbo I4, 270 hp, 4x4) at 5,000 lb.

What is the payload capacity of a 2025 Jeep Wrangler?

Maximum payload is 1,328 lb. Payload includes passengers, cargo and the trailer's tongue weight, so it is usually the limit you reach first. The Jeep document we used does not list GVWR; yours is on the certification label in the driver's door jamb.

Does the 2025 Jeep Wrangler need a tow package to reach its maximum rating?

The 5,000 lb maximum applies only to the 4-door Rubicon with the 2.0L turbo, eight-speed automatic, 4.10 axle and LT285/70R17C tires (9,950 lb GCWR); all other 4-door models are rated 3,500 lb and 2-door models 2,000 lb. Configurations without the package carry a lower rating; see the note column in the table above.

Can a 2025 Jeep Wrangler tow a travel trailer?

A configuration rated at 5,000 lb can handle a trailer with a loaded weight of roughly 4,000 lb while keeping a 20% safety margin, provided passengers, cargo and tongue weight stay within the 1,328 lb payload. Run your exact numbers in the towing calculator.
