2021 Jeep Wrangler Towing Capacity

The Wrangler towing capacity will vary depending on your configuration — i.e. your chosen trim level, drivetrain, and engine. So how much can a Jeep Wrangler tow at each trim level? Here are a few points to keep in mind as you configure your Wrangler: 

  • For 2-door models, the Wrangler towing capacity maxes out at 2,000 pounds. 4-door Wrangler models can tow as much as 3,500 pounds.
  • Most trim levels can be had in either a 2-door or 4-door configuration. The exceptions are the Sahara, and High Altitude, which only come as 4-door models. If you choose one of these trims, you can be sure of a 3,500-pound Wrangler towing capacity.
  • The Wrangler lineup gains several exciting new exterior paint colors for 2021, and most of the 2020 Jeep Wrangler configurations are back for the new model year.

How Much Can a Jeep Wrangler Tow with Each 4×4 System?

  • Selec-Trac® 4×4 stays in two-wheel drive when road conditions are good, helping to conserve fuel. When you encounter snow, rain, ice, or mud, the system automatically switches to 4×4.
  • Rock-Trac® 4×4 optimizes off-road performance with a 4:1 low gear ratio, Tru-Lok® electronic-locking differentials, and electronic front sway bar disconnect.
  • Command-Trac® 4×4 offers a neutral option for better towing on flat surfaces and a 2.72:1 low gear ratio for when the trail gets tough. As you might expect, Command-Trac® is best for towing.
