Jeep Wranglers are a great vehicle for people who love adventure. They’re sturdy, compact, and can fit a good amount of people and equipment. But if you’re trying to pull a travel trailer with this car, there are a few things you’ll have to keep in mind.
First off, even though these vehicles are strong for their size, they still can’t pull travel trailers that weigh more than their maximum tow capacity. (The maximum tow capacity is a measurement that describes the weight limit that any given vehicle can pull behind it.)
Jeep Wranglers have maximum tow capacities that range between 2,000 to 3,500 lbs. This measurement will vary depending on the model, year, and any special modifications your car might have.
To find your Jeep Wrangler’s towing capacity, you should consult your user’s manual or check an online database. Rvcampingworld.com has a great website for people to check their tow capacities at. You can look up your vehicle’s specifications by visiting their website here.
But even though your towing capacity might be lower with a Wrangler, that doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy the benefits of a travel trailer! There are plenty of lightweight models on the market that can be towed by vehicles with a towing capacity of fewer than 3,500 lbs. Some of these are simple and plain, while others are fully decked out!
Follow along as we look at 9 of the best travel trailers for Jeep Wranglers. The following list is ranked in order of weight from lightest to heaviest.

The Jeep manual specifies that the max frontal area of a trailer is 32 sq-ft. Many of the trailers in this blog are bigger than that. Is it safe to ignore this spec?
I’m confused as to how those that exceed the 350 lb tongue weight and or exceed the gross weight when loaded meet the criteria? I understand that you can pack light but tongue weight isn’t reduced by doing so. My Jeep’s max capacity is 3500.
I’m sure it has to do with our upgrades & suspension, but not sure how to figure what the new capacities are.
So only the super expensive ones make the list?
The Avenger LT series is really good. 2700 pounds dry.
Thank you Stephen. We have contemplated a full package RV set-up with a toy hauler. After a couple videos and your information (above), we are now seriously considering a change to a small travel trailer with a 4×4 set-up to tow with our Jeep to just, “Get out there!” – great info, thank you.
