just more reason to send it!Noted sir, but usually someone ends up buying the damn Jeep off me before I get to crazy with them.

I am located up in Vancouver, BC Canada. But unfortunately I have no experience with towing with any of the motors yet, as its just not something I have ever needed to do.I don’t know where you’re located, but have you done any testing with it towing? I was dead set on getting the eco, but there are all kinds of people having reduced power/limp mode issues with them, it’s ridiculous. The gasser with a sc would be acceptable, if it doesn’t have the cooling issues of the eco.
I tow with my Mojave. I pull a tandem axle enclosed 12’ v nose trailer with tools. Total weight is about 4000-4500lbs. Not sure of the tongue weight but my best educated guess is around 400lbs. I’ve got a good amount of squat but will be resolving that next week with maxtow springs and airbags.Cool, thanks anyway.

as is, other than the squat I love the way it tows. Never seems to work too hard the 8spd automatic is a dream. If I run into an against the wind or uphill I just switch it to manual to prevent extended times of high rev. I’m very happy coming from a ram 2500 hemi 5.7l that high rpm’d and drank gas 7mpg. I average in my JTM 18.7 currently in town, highway and towing combined.

I’m amazed at how many of the diesel guys are having big issues with towing. It really brings my enthusiasm for wanting one WAY down. The engines just don’t seem to be able to shed heat.
I’m hoping that either the issues are solved by next year when I order, or that I can find enough feedback that shows a supercharged gasser won’t have the same issues.
Its too bad none of the supercharger kits actually come with a tune that works.I can’t describe in word just how insanely fun this truck is now to drive, after a couple tune adjustments and soon to be a suspension overhaul this Jeep has now become my favourite one to drive I have owned.
thanks for sharing your experience and the follow up info!I tow these plus one more SxS, and my Mustang and Corvair, no issues
