There are a multitude of campers that can be towed by the Wrangler due to the range of weight it can handle. To avoid any issues while you are on the road, it is recommended to only pull small, aerodynamic trailers and campers.
As an example of what a Wrangler can handle, here is a basic breakdown of camper sizes and weights.
- When it comes to a popup camper, the Jeep Wrangler is capable of towing between 600 and 4,000 pounds of dry weight.
- When it comes to a hybrid trailer, the Jeep Wrangler is capable of carrying a dry weight ranging from 2,000 pounds to 5,000 pounds.
- When it comes to a teardrop camper, a Jeep Wrangler is capable of handling a dry weight of between 520 pounds and 2,500 pounds.
- When it comes to an Airstream camper, Jeep Wranglers are capable of handling weights between 2,500 pounds and 4,000 pounds.
As far as towing capacity is concerned, this camper’s dry weight falls within the Wrangler’s capabilities. However, their dry weight is only a measurement of their size. Packing all your camping gear and essentials will result in a heavier pack. It is likely that your Jeep Wrangler will exceed its safe towing weight if you tow a large trailer or camper with it.
The others could be too tall and wide for the Wrangler to safely tow, even if they fall within its maximum towing capacity. A popup camper is the best choice for a Jeep Wrangler since it is small and lightweight enough to be safely towed.
Pop-up campers: how do they work?
Towing popup campers with Jeep Wranglers is possible. The popup camper can weigh from 600 pounds to 4,000 pounds dry, but it can also weigh less or more. Because of its maximum towing capacity, those heavier and larger popup campers might not be suitable for Jeep Wrangler owners. You should either choose a basic model or a mid-range model that weighs 1,600 to 2,000 pounds, as these are the lightest popup campers on the market.
The majority of popup campers in this weight range come with a queen-sized bed, a living room, and a dinette. Soft canvas walls make popup campers lighter and easier to carry than rigid walls of many campers and trailers.
Towing is made easier as a result of this. Unless you plan to go winter camping, pop-ups are capable of withstanding the elements, so don’t worry about not getting enough protection.
