Trailering a Jeep with 3.21 gears

[Relentless]

My fiancé and I would like to trailer her Jeep to an off-road park. However, I’m not sure I would be able to tow it. Im not sure of her curb weight and the trailer weight. My guess would be 5500 lbs curb weight and 1500-2000 lb trailer weight. I weigh about 200 lbs and my fiancé weighs about 115lbs. The trailer is also a pintle hook. I’m just not sure I’d be able to do it with the 3.21’s.

Is the Jeep heavily modded? The heaviest stock 4-door Rubicons are only ~4,500 lbs curb weight.

3.21 will pull the trailer fine, although being over 5,000 lbs requires a WDH. Not sure how you do that with a pintle hook.

Well under 5500 lbs

I would like to eventually take it to a CAT scale and get the exact weight one of these days

I pulled my '61 Caddy home 3+ hours no problem w/ 3.21 gears. About 7000 lbs car + trailer. No pintle hitch though.

No weight distribution hitch? And how heavy was that trailer?

No WDH, just surge trailer brakes. Trailer about 2300, car about 4700.

Hmmm I’m wondering if the pintle hook trailer is about 3000 lbs

I towed my uncles 5000 pound(estimate) Traverse with my dad's 18ft car hauler that weighs 2300 pounds without a problem. It was 300 miles and I didn't have a WDH either. Drove amazing and never really struggled. The Traverse was full of luggage and random stuff so that's why I feel it was closer or probably a little more then 5000 pounds.

In other words, I should be fine lol
