I would offer more advice but the weight police have already come out, claiming I dont know the difference between dry weight, gvwr, gcvwr, tow capacities, engineering processes to determine specifications, etc. Years ago I had long discussions with the weight police on a different forum...

so with my overland, I have a GCVWR of 11100, which according to Jeep, my 3.73 gears can move that much weight. but if I go over 5800 pounds of gvwr (with no trailer attached), say 6500 pounds, my 3.73 gears can't move that weight? So according to Jeep, my JT Overland can move GCVWR of 11100...

I have been in the same boat as you the past few weeks. I have a stock JT Overland with tow package, and my JT CCC is just below 1100 pounds (cant remember exact number off the top of my head), i.e. JT GVWR is 5800. Hear is the conclusion that I came to: on my spreadsheet calculations for my...

Last night I put a deposit down on a Freedom Express 192RBS with a dry weight of around 4150. The trailer is currently being built, and no idea of when it will roll off the assembly line or when it will be shipped.... :( I will be towing with a factory (no lift, no bigger tires, etc) JT...

I have only towed a 2500 pound (loaded) utility trailer a short distance in the city with the Gladiator, and I kept it in drive for that. When I was on the highway, the Gladiator was in 8th gear.

Thanks everyone for the information. According to my spreadsheet: Weight of cargo in jeep (people, stuff, gas, no tongue weight) is approx. 650 pounds. (If the wife and I went on a diet, we could reduce this weight. lol) Total weight (wet) of trailer with WDH included is approx. 4800 to 4900...

Thanks for the feedback. I have not researched WDH much, but I have heard good things about the Equalizer hitches. As for brake controllers, I was thinking either the Mopar stock one (not sure if I want to give up the 12V plug on the dash) or the Redarc Tow Pro Elite.

Thinking about getting a travel trailer and wanted some advice. I have a stock Overland - there are no plans to lift or put larger tires on the Overland. Years ago I pulled a Fleetwood highwall tent trailer (loaded around 3600) with a Jeep Liberty. I had no problems towing that trailer at 55...

What model is your Imagine trailer? I am curious because I have looked at a few Imagine trailers. Thanks, Shawn
