Hi.Hello, I’ve been rock crawling for over 20 years and was pretty active on the old Pirate forum back in the day. I bought me a Mojave last week and so far I’m loving it. I probably won’t be doing much wheeling in it as it’s going to be my daily driver. I currently have three Jeeps but will be selling my crawler and my TJ Rubicon. I thought I’d introduce myself here, so I’m saying hi.

High revs are ok.Greetings from Northern Colorado.
Ms Grumpers has a 2023 Sport S with the max tow package and has her heart set on pulling a travel trailer with a total GVWR of 5,500 lbs. Her truck has the 3.6L with the 8 speed auto & 4.10 gears. She and I are both use to big diesels so the high revving 3.6 is new to us.
When I derate the advertised 7,700 towing capacity by 30%, 5,500 is the limit. We recently pulled our 7'x14' enclosed trailer that weighs 2,500lbs empty and running 4-5k rpm to keep up with traffic on the flat is unnerving, not to mention disappointing.
We are here to learn more about available performance mods that are financially practical, to see if pulling 5,500lbs is even realistic.
Thanks in advance for help with my questions ahead.
These 3.6L V6 are a higher revenge engine . The high side of the cam doesn't kick in till about 3000rpm and max HP is around 4300rpm. You was in thd sweet spot which is what the computer is doing for you when it is sensing more torque need it down shifts and hold you in the sweet spot. Dont sweat it .. Enjoy it . I am positive you're not towing like that repetitively. 7x14 that only weighs 2500 wowGreetings from Northern Colorado.
