We LOVE our jeep, but I'm at my wits end here. We have spent HOURS trying to figure out if we can successfully tow a small rpod on the back of our wrangler. There are so many mixed things on everything we look up, i tried calling JEEP they cant help us, neither can the place we bought the jeep from. Does anyone know how to find this info out? We have a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK unlimited sport 4 door.
 
Your owners manual has guidelines, too. Depends on your gear ratio, mostly. Rule of thumb is 2000lbs for 3.21 gears and 3500lbs for 3.73 & 4.10 gears.. Looking at the Forest River site, it states an rpod at its full capacity for cargo is over 3800lbs, not including the water tank.

Personally, I wouldn't tow somthing that big with a Wrangler, but others do.
