* Trailer type and weight distribution: A well-balanced trailer will tow easier than a poorly balanced one.
* Terrain: Towing uphill or on rough terrain drastically reduces capacity.
* Added weight in the Jeep: Passengers, cargo, and equipment all reduce available towing capacity.
* Condition of the Jeep: A well-maintained Jeep will tow better than one with worn components.
It's crucial to never exceed the manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. Going over this limit puts significant strain on the Jeep's transmission, brakes, and other components, leading to premature wear and even dangerous situations. Consider a lower rating for safer towing.
