[QUOTE="nhdiesel, post: 432208, member: 20363"] Justcmy opinion...I've towed all my life, with everything from well set up diesel pickups to sadly underpowered, ill equipped undersized vehicles. Our 2018 JKU Rubicon auto with 3.73 gears and stock 32" tires was one of the worse vehicles I've ever towed with. It struggled with a 4x8 flat utility trailer with some pressure treated lumber on it. When I had to haul a motorcycle about 500 miles, it was very sluggish on hills and fuel mileage was pitiful. It worked harder than my old XJ with 31s and a 4.0 hauling a 3/4 ton van on a trailer. The 3.6 sure is NOT a towing engine. The JK will do it, but I wouldn't want to do it for very far. Enclosed trailers are like pulling a parachute through the wind. [/QUOTE]
