We’re looking at getting a 2008 Jeep Wrangler those way in the mid 4000s. Will we be safe and your guys opinion?
You should be on the Ford 450 chassis. If so the max coach weight is 14,500 lbs and the max combined weight is 22,000 lbs. So, with a 8,000 lb hitch (which you should check what hitch you have), you could safety tow 7,500 lbs with no drop. If the drop gets much over 2 inches, it will seriously degrade the hitch's capability.
