hi roger s and welcome to the forums...

lots of good posts already written here on towing issues, so read 'em!

check your numbers carefully....

any payload in the jeep'r...

like people, pets, fuel, gear, options, roof rack and so on...

REDUCES the towing capacity....

payload is all the above PLUS the tongue weight....

find the gcwr for the jeep; that is the maximum allowed weight of everything rolling...

then calculate 80% of that figure....

you will be very close if not over payload and that adjusted towing number...

cheers
