Wrangler & Scooter

I have a 2014 Vegas. I have a Yamaha SMAX ( curb weight 324lbs). I am looking for a wrangler 2 door to tow ( curb weight 3000lbs).
I’ve Ben looking at if it possible to take both with me on trips. The GCWR is 18,500lbs. The GVWR is 12,500. The hitch is rated to hold 500lbs. Towing is 5000lbs. The wrangler specs

Try moving the passenger's seat forward, and put it down. Do you need the rear seat? Unbolt and remove it. The scooter should fit in from the rear...

I don't think you will find a wrangler at 3000#. Jeep lists the curb weight of a 2012 wrangler at 3897 -4997. 2 doer at the lower range depending on options. I used 2012 because that's what I used to tow.

2 door TJ has an empty curb weight of 3045 lbs.

You are right I mis-typed it’s 4000lbs

I have seen some articles where they use a double hitch with the scooter on one hitch and the Jeep being towed on the other.
