The Jeep Wrangler with the 4-cylinder automatic has a maximum towing capacity of 1,000 pounds. The Jeep Wrangler with the 2.5 liter engine and 5-speed manual transmission has a maximum towing capacity of 2,000 pounds.
Do not exceed 80% of max. tow capacity. My 2008 Wrangler Unlimited 4 dr, 4 WD is rated at 3500 lbs. max. tow capacity.
You should not tow more than 2,000 pounds in a 1988 Jeep Wrangler. This is considering the engine is a 4.2 liter engine.
3500 lbs
Yes. transmission in Park, transfer case in neutral.
The best way is on a trailer.
Place the transmission in Park and the transfer case in neutral.
About a couple coolers full of beer. I wouldn't tow much more than a thousound lbs or so. The 2.5l tranny is just not built for the strain.
Depends on the engine and whether it has a towing package
Whether it's a soft top or hard top makes no difference. A Jeep Wrangler can pull a trailer, so long as it's within the vehicle's towing capacity (the weight limit the vehicle is rated to tow). Since you did not specify a trailer GVW, we cannot say if it'll pull your trailer or not.
1000 lbs max tow capacity for any model of 1999 escort
With an AMC 360 V8, it is 5000 pounds
