Tyson Motor Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram
Driving through Joliet or heading west toward the trails near Starved Rock, you expect your SUV to handle more than just the daily commute. You may want to tow a camper, a boat, or gear for a weekend in Plainfield, Lockport, and Naperville, Illonis. That’s where the Jeep Wrangler stands out.
At Tyson Motor, you’ll find information and support to understand Jeep Wrangler towing capacity and how it fits your life.
The Wrangler is not only about open-air freedom—it is built to tow. When properly equipped, the four-door Rubicon model can pull up to 5,000 pounds¹, giving you Best-in-Class available towing capacity. This means you can hitch a pop-up camper or bring a small boat to Lake Michigan without overloading your SUV.
Two-door Wrangler models can tow up to 2,000 pounds, while Unlimited four-door models reach 3,500 pounds. That flexibility allows you to choose the body style that works best for you. If your weekends take you to Lockport for family outings or to Naperville for soccer tournaments, you’ll have the strength to bring the gear you need.
Also, the 2024 Jeep Wrangler was named Best SUV of 2024 by Cars.com. The award applies to the full Wrangler lineup, including 2.0- and 3.6-liter gas models, the V8-powered Rubicon 392, and the plug-in hybrid Wrangler 4xe.²
The Wrangler’s strength goes beyond towing. Jeep offers an available factory-installed WARN winch with an 8,000-pound capacity tied to the available steel front bumper. If you’re out near the Illinois River and a friend’s vehicle gets stuck, this tool makes you the one who can pull them free.
A Best-in-Class approach angle on four-door models lets you drive up steep inclines without scraping. That matters when trails get rugged or when you climb embankments off-road. It’s one more way the Wrangler gives you access where other SUVs hesitate.
The Wrangler has systems designed for every kind of adventure. The Command-Trac part-time 4×4 system sends torque to all four wheels, giving you control in mud, snow, or on rocky trails. It also has a 2.72:1 low range for crawling and a neutral setting for flat towing behind an RV.
The Rubicon trim comes standard with the Rock-Trac system. The available full-time Rock-Trac 4×4 system takes it further with a 4:1 low gear ratio, creating a 100:1 crawl ratio that is Best-in-Class. For you, that means precision control when maneuvering on rough terrain outside Joliet or through tight forest paths near Plainfield.
Wrangler engineers even thought about balancing off-road gear with safety tech. Competitors place radar sensors in front bumpers, which can interfere with winches. Jeep positioned the radar sensor above the rearview mirror, so you don’t give up Adaptive Cruise Control to keep your off-road hardware.
Yes. Two-door Wranglers can tow up to 2,000 pounds, while Unlimited four-door models can tow up to 3,500 pounds. That gives you flexibility based on your needs. If you mostly drive around Naperville and want easier parking, the two-door may work best. If your weekends involve towing campers outside Joliet, the four-door’s higher capacity pays off.
You have several choices. The 2.0L turbo engine offers efficient torque, the 3.6L Pentastar V6 balances strength with everyday driving, and the plug-in hybrid 4xe provides instant electric torque plus gas range.
Yes. With the proper hitch, trailer brakes, and towing package, the Wrangler handles trailers on I-55, I-80, and other routes around Homer Glen. Its 4×4 systems keep you steady when weather changes, and safety features like Trailer Sway Control add reassurance.
