What kind of WDH are you using for the Starcraft?

From your owner's manual, pp 166-171 The rated capacity is for a stock truck, and will be reduced by your tires and any other weight you've added from the stock vehicle.

Lives lived well! Congratulations on your milestone, and thank you for sharing your life's journeys with us. My travels over the years have convinced me that the experiences of travel, seeing and being in new places and cultures prevent the self-destructive provincialism we're seeing so...

If you take a realistic inventory of what you really NEED in a camper, and you spend some time shopping them both online and in person, once you settle on something that looks like it'll work for you there will always be deals to be had on a lightly used trailer. Here's one example of a 2021...

I've had five Scamps since 1980, two 13', two 16' and briefly, a 19' fifth wheel. They're great trailers. I towed one of the 16s with a Honda Element.

While you were posting this, I was searching the manual, and did screenshots of each page. For my '22 Overland, it's pp 166-172. FWIW, this is the ONLY place I've found the information. It doesn't seem to exist in Jeep world outside the owner's manual. I suspect that lack of distribution is...

I think you misinterpreted what I said. The hitch and the frame are the same, which is what is important in figuring out tongue weight maximums for the hitch itself. Jeep provides no guidance at all, for maximum tongue weight, other than to say that 13% tongue weight is appropriate. With the...

Well done, Shipmate! Nice setup, great story!

I just got my '22 Overland about three weeks ago and was faced with exactly the same dilemma. Even my salesman, who is a good friend, had trouble determining what the actual tow rating for the Overland is. The posts above outline it pretty well, and there's a section in the owners manual that...

What do you carry in the box trailer? Is the JT set up to tow four-down behind the moho too? Gorgeous moho btw. Love the Freightliner M2 and International chassis super-C coaches.

Ok, I have to share this photo from 1981. This may not be a JT per se, but it's the JT's grandfather. In 1981 I bought the first CJ-8 Scrambler in San Diego County from Brown's Jeep in Santee CA. it had the Iron Duke 4cyl and a 4spd manual trans. I had a '76 Scamp 13. We made many trips...

I believe that's the longest trailer I've seen behind a JT. Well done!

Lookin' good! You've got about 1500lbs more tow capacity with your Sport Max Tow than I have with my Overland, but even with the 3.73 rear end and the loaded trailer at the top of the tow rating, mine seems to do well, over the first 500 miles. Ours is a Globetrotter which is a couple of...

I was hoping for a less technical thread and more photos and experience sharing.

Same trip about a week later and after a trip to the truck wash in Las Vegas. ;)

This is the setup I had before the JT and Airstream. I'd just come through a blizzard in Vail Pass, CO.

I found a post specifically about what folks are towing with their JT diesels, but I thought I'd start a thread for everyone to discuss what they tow with their JT and what challenges you've had towing with them. I am an old, retired guy. My hard-off-road 'wheelin' days are behind me. Back in...

Mine is the 3.6L gasser, not the diesel... and it still clocked in at $60k+. Yes, I'm exceptionally pleased with how it was optioned out. I like the limited slip in the rear as well and the Selec Trac too. The only thing it lacks from the max tow package are the 4.10s, and frankly for regular...

It'd really be easier to list what it DIDN'T have for options, which isn't much. About the only thing I can find it's missing is adaptive cruise and the 110v inverter and outlets. it's pretty loaded for options. Here's the build sheet:

How about some nice 5" drop steps that bolt directly onto the stock step-rock rail for the JT and JL? My wife isn't tall and has both hips replaced. Getting in and out is a problem, and no one seems to make a drop step that just affixes easily to the stock Mopar rock rails on my '22 Overland...
