Hello, new member here. I’m about to order a 2021 rubicon with the trailer tow package and manual transmission (only waiting to see if Gobi will be released in 21). I’ve done a lot of research and know exactly what I want. The manual transmission is a requirement. HOWEVER, I was disappointed to learn you can’t get the max tow package with a manual. This is replacing my F250 work truck, so I’ll be pulling a trailer a lot. I don’t expect to match the F250 when it comes to towing cattle trailers/construction trailers, but I would like to be able to pull a 24 Ft center console boat safely. This will be my main work truck for the next two years so I am a little concerned with towing.
I have not seen anything yet on here talking about performance upgrades or aftermarket options for the manual transmission? It seems the main reason the rubi with a m/t has a tow rating way less that with an auto is the trans. Has anyone confirmed this? Basically, what do I need to do to increase the towing capacity of the rubi m/t setup? Coming from the diesel world, I’m no stranger to heavy modifications and adding performance to really expensive trucks, and also familiar with transmissions becoming weak links.
