Bed, tongue weight, and wheelbase
The trailer rating is one limit. The bed has to fit the load, the tongue or pin has to fit in payload, and the wheelbase is the column the chart uses.
- An illustrative 10 percent of the 7,700 lb conventional maximum is 770 lb of tongue weight. This is not a measured load or recommended percentage; actual load may be higher.
- Bed dimensions
- Jeep's FAQ lists a bed length of 60.3 inches with the tailgate closed and width of 56.8 inches. That width is not identified as the clearance between wheel wells.
- Overall dimensions
- Jeep lists overall length at 218 inches and wheelbase at 137.3 inches. No width or height is imported from this FAQ.
