We are contemplating the purchase of an '07 Unlimited with the tow package installed, and Jeep states that it's tow capacity as outfitted will be 3,500 lbs. What I am wondering is if anyone knows how well the Unlimited will ACTUALLY tow 3,500 lbs? Our Fleetwood Pop up weighs exactly 3,500 prior to any sleeping bags, etc. Am I just wishfully thinking that the Unlimited can indeed tow it's max plus a bit more - especially in Washington State where there are definite uphill grades???? Any insight and or recommendations would be more than appreciated. Jeep Service Dept. says Yes - but, I am still a bit weary - but so love the Unlimited. Just have to know if it is possible and not going to be totally problamatic to the engine, etc. Thanks!

Help - I am currently considering purchasing an '07 Jeep Unlimited 4x4 with tow package for a tow capacity of 3,500 lbs. We would be towing a boat/trailer dry of 2,000 lb.s First question - I really would like this Jeep to be manual, but my husband says we are nuts to tow with a manual. He definitely wants it to be an automatic. I am curious to know what other more "seasoned" towers would say - stick with an automatic only? Or, are there any benefits to towing with a manual? Second question - the sales person said a manual would give you more "torque" for towing - is this true? And last, anyone have input or opinion to the '07 Jeep Unlimited for towing - good or bad?? ALSO totally meant to ask pro's vs. con's of a manual vs. automatic on a boat ramp getting boat in and out. Better to stick with automatic??? or, manual ???? Again - I am all ears to opinions, experiences, recommendations, etc, etc...... ??? ASAP if at all possible. Looking to buy/order an '07 Jeep Unlimited very, very soon here. Just don't know which to choose - if either?? Thanks!!! |

Replying to: wendysinger (Aug 18, 2007 10:59 am) One more question - do you have an automatic or a manual Unlimited? I am assuming you have the 4 door with tow package installed, correct?
