[QUOTE="Ballermaris, post: 425372, member: 18206"] I agree with the dicey tow. We are not saying it is impossible, but the trailer will be close to the weight of the JK itself so if that starts to wiggle the JK will be jerked around a bit. Be prepared to use the control for stabilization, i.e. keying the controller to engage the brakes of the trailer to make it behave itself. Also, speed is a factor, nothing above 65 MPH, so with your gearing, 62 MPH will be the sweet spot. The reason we show concern is if you got to do a panic stop, that trailer may force the rear tires to break free and you get into a jackknife issue. Then it will be up to physics which way the JK will go. [/QUOTE]
