Jeep Wrangler towing capability???
 
I've got an '02 Jeep Wrangler. V6, manual transmission, 4x4. My question is, how much can I safely tow? The owner's manual says 2000 lbs, but I've got to believe I can tow more than that. Is there any rule of thumb about towing?

Specifically want to know how much of a boat I can tow. Don't want to get a bigger truck.

:cheers:

The killer with the Wrangler is the wheelbase, not the power train.
