Only one question matters. How much plywood does that beast haul? 66 pieces!

Yea but unless you can carry plywood with the doors off itās kind of pointless to even think about carrying plywood.

Technically, no - the JT has a higher payload capacity by a fair bit.

The raptor can carry more plywood quicker, but def not more.

My bad. I just assume everybody thinks the plywood thing is as funny as I do. And by funny, I mean serious. Hauling plywood to the trail or campsite is use #1 in my book.

I own both these vehicles.
The Raptor has a 13ā wider track width than my Rubicon has. Note - I had highway tread tires/wheels on the Jeep when this pic was taken.
The Raptorās towing capacity is rated for only 8k because they have a really soft spring in them for offroad. Thereās a number of people that have made minor changes to overcome this and their Raptors are towing beasts...
The Jeep 3.6 is too much of a slug when loaded down with a higher profile trailer weighing 3500#. I have no idea how they (Jeep) can rate the JT up to 7600#. Hoping that The Fast Lane Truck guys can get their hands on a JT and prove me wrong. Flat and level is not a problem. Going up Hills and Mountains over 3500ā is where the 3.6 runs out of breath...

Thanks but....
I wouldnāt own an EPA Diesel anyway - your link just points out why the max tow rating is for the Pentastar 3.6. Iām saying that if the Pentastar 3.6 is still only 285hp, it will not have the cajones to tow anything high profile like a travel trailer in the mountains and hills...
Been there - done that... Check the other thread.

The link explains why the JT has double the towing of the JL. That's what you were wondering, right?

Yes, I understand that they put a bigger radiator in and a redesigned grill and a beefier frame.
You need to try towing something heavy with that 3.6 and youāll understand. If the engine does not have the nuts to haul the weight up hills and mountains at altitude, it will be a severely handicapped truck. Have read so far, indicates that the 3.6 Pentastar in the JT will be unchanged from the JK/JL 3.6 Pentastar.
Iāll wait for TFL or some people to post honest towing reviews before I trade in...
