Was supposed to go pick up my new loaded JKU Sport tomorrow morning, with a tow package, that the dealer and Jeep website both said could tow 3500 pounds.
Thanks to reading this forum, I called the dealer today and he confirmed that it had the 3.21 gears, so 2000lb tow limit.
Pretty much a deal breaker as my current boat is right around 2000lbs and I will prob buy a bigger one down the road.
I called around all day and a dealer found me one jeep in the exact color (wife fell in love with Anvil) we wanted and 3.75 gears that is 1000 miles away (we live in smaller city near nothing) . He agreed to get it shipped to me.
However it has far fewer options then the first one and its the same price.
Here is the build on the two jeeps.
Jeep 1 - (3.21 Gears)
Transmission: 5-Speed Automatic (W5A580)
Radio: Uconnect 430 CD/DVD/MP3/HDD
Black Jeep Freedom Top Hardtop
Air Conditioning
Anti-Spin Differential Rear Axle
Black Appearance Group
Power Convenience Group
SIRIUSXM Satellite Radio
Trailer Tow Group
6 Infinity Speakers w/Subwoofer
Connectivity Group
Black
Quick Order Package 24S
Anvil Clear Coat
Monotone Paint Application
Cloth Seats w/Adjustable Head Restraints
Jeep 2
Transmission: 5-Speed Automatic (W5A580)
Black Jeep Freedom Top Hardtop
Air Conditioning
3.73 rear axle ratio
Power Convenience Group
Quick Order Package 24S
Anvil Clear Coat
Monotone Paint Application
Cloth Seats w/Adjustable Head Restraints
Got the dealer to throw in and install Mopar stock side steps and a Hitch and connecter on option 2
I really need to tow a boat, and I tow ALOT, but basically I'm giving up a bunch of options for 3.73 gears, which is a only $95 dollar option.
Thoughts? Should I just get the first jeep and tow with the 3.21s for a while or do it right and give up some creature comforts for the 3.73's?
