What is the Best 2021 Travel Trailer that Can be Towed by a Jeep Wrangler?

A lot of campers love Jeeps. And a lot of Jeep owners love to camp! Whether you are towing a Jeep behind your Class A motorhome or towing a camper trailer behind your Jeep vehicle, this iconic and very popular SUV can go off-roading and has the power to tow a travel trailer behind it.

There are a lot of questions you may have about towing a travel trailer with a Jeep Wrangler.

Here are the Top 5 Questions asked by Jeep Wrangler owners looking to tow:

1️⃣ What is the towing capacity of my Jeep Wrangler?
2️⃣ How much can the 2021 Jeep Wrangler tow for maximum gas efficiency?
3️⃣ What are the pros and cons of towing with a Jeep Wrangler?

5️⃣ What are the best 2021 Travel Trailer models for my Jeep Wrangler?

We answer all of these questions and more before we show you 10 Great Camper Trailers You Can Tow with a Jeep Wrangler.

What is the Towing Capacity of a Jeep Wrangler?

The reality is that you should never tow the maximum capacity of 3,500 lbs. with your 4 door Jeep Wrangler. A 2 door Wrangler can only tow 2,000 lbs. A good rule of thumb that we recommend is that you never tow more than 80% of your tow vehicle's maximum tow rating. Since a Jeep's max tow rating is 3,500 we recommend that you don't tow more than 2,800 lbs.

This means you will want to find a camper that weighs less than 2,000 lbs so by the time you add all of your gear and supplies its maximum weight will be no more than 2,800 lbs.

We carefully chose our 10 best campers for a Jeep Wrangle below with all of this in mind. So you have some really good and safe camper choices to tow behind your Jeep without destroying your Jeep's transmission.

How Much Can the 2021 Jeep Wrangler Tow for Maximum Gas Efficiency?

As a general rule, you will have better gas mileage when towing a travel trailer if you tow a camper that weighs as little as possible and creates as little wind resistance as possible.

So, finding a camper that is very lightweight is key! And an example of a camper that has very low wind resistance is a popup or folding tent camper. We include campers that fit both of these requirements in our top 10 list below.

In conclusion, always check your Jeep Wrangler vehicle's owner's manual for valuable information on your towing capabilities. This will need to be shared with the RV salesperson when discussing your small travel trailer purchase.

What are the Pros and Cons of Towing a Travel Trailer with a Jeep Wrangler?

Jeeps are great. Camping is great. But there are a few pros (and cons!) when you combine the two. Here's a quick checklist of 3 Pros and 3 Cons for towing a travel trailer with a Jeep Wrangler:

PROS

✅ No doubt, camping and towing with a Jeep Wrangler will get you into sites that no other RV or towing vehicle will.
✅ A Jeep Wrangler can and will be able to face any terrain.
✅ Smaller travel trailers are less expensive than bigger RVs like fifth wheels and Class A motorhomes.

CONS

⛔️ Your towing capacity is limited which means you will need to tow smaller lightweight travel trailers. Luxuries such as a large bathroom, kitchen, and living space are not an option here.
⛔️ Little to no storage in your compact travel trailer, teardrop, or pop up camper.
⛔️ A Jeep is great! But its design, suspension, drive train, and overall architecture are what limits its towing capacity.

Can I Tow a Folding Tent Camper with a Jeep Wrangler?

One thing is for sure when looking to tow a folding tent camper trailer behind your Jeep Wrangler, you have to decide between a soft wall and a hard wall unit. What is the difference and why is it important to know this information?

Here's why:

1️⃣ Hard wall camper trailers provide added security from people and animals while providing additional shelter from the weather. This is a pretty popular option for a lot of outdoor enthusiasts. However, the heavier hard walls add additional weight to the camper trailer, so it may limit the options for Jeep Wrangler owners.

2️⃣ Lighter weight A-frame camper trailers may be a good hard wall option for you. Also, teardrop and hybrid travel trailers are good options for campers towing with a Jeep Wrangler.

3️⃣ Last but not least, soft wall or tent type walls are very lightweight and a great option for small towing capacity vehicles. They get you off the cold hard ground and are an affordable and lightweight option for your Jeep Wrangler. Of course, you will have to give up some amenities for this soft wall camper trailer option!
