FIND YOUR JEEPThe 2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer offers a maximum towing capacity of up to 10,000 pounds when properly equipped. Exact capacity depends on vehicle configuration and equipment.
Why This Guide Exists
Jeep towing capacity can vary based on the vehicle, engine, drivetrain, body configuration, towing package, axle configuration and other equipment. A model's maximum advertised towing capacity does not mean every version of that Jeep can tow the same amount.
This is especially important when shopping for a used Jeep. The model name alone does not tell you the complete towing story. Always verify the exact vehicle and configuration before towing.
Published maximum trailer ratings are not a blanket rating for every vehicle in a model family. Never exceed the vehicle's GVWR, GAWR or GCWR. Trailer tongue weight also counts against available payload.

Towing Basics
Maximum trailer weight is only one part of determining whether a Jeep is appropriate for a specific trailer. Payload, tongue weight, GVWR, GAWR, GCWR and equipment all matter.
The maximum published trailer rating for a specific Jeep configuration when properly equipped. This does not mean every vehicle of the same model can tow that amount.
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating is the maximum permitted weight of the Jeep itself, including occupants, cargo, equipment and trailer tongue weight.
Gross Combined Weight Rating accounts for the combined weight of the tow vehicle, trailer, passengers, cargo and equipment.
Trailer tongue weight is part of the load carried by the Jeep. It affects available payload and must remain within the vehicle and hitch ratings.
Payload includes passengers, cargo, accessories and trailer tongue weight. A Jeep may reach its payload limit before reaching its advertised maximum trailer rating.
Trailer tow packages, hitches, wiring, cooling systems, brakes and other equipment can affect what a specific Jeep is rated to tow.
Flat Towing Guide
Some Jeep vehicles are designed to be towed with all four wheels on the ground behind a motorhome or other tow vehicle. This is commonly called flat towing, dinghy towing or four-down towing. However, flat-towing capability depends on the exact Jeep model, model year and drivetrain.
Jeep Wrangler is one of the most commonly associated Jeep vehicles with recreational flat towing. Exact procedures depend on model year and drivetrain.
Certain Jeep Gladiator configurations can be flat towed when properly prepared. Follow the specific transfer-case and transmission procedures for the vehicle.
Flat towing can require a specific transfer-case position, transmission setting and preparation procedure before the Jeep is connected to the tow vehicle.
A proper tow bar, base plate or compatible attachment system, safety cables, lighting and supplemental braking equipment may be required depending on the setup.
Shopping Used?
Used Jeep models can have different towing ratings depending on model year, engine, drivetrain, body style, axle configuration and factory equipment. Always verify the exact vehicle before relying on a maximum rating.
