Towing a Jeep

Does anyone tow a 2019 or later Jeep Rubicon Unlimited with a View or Navion? I know the Jeep weighs a lot but I think it is less than 5,000 lbs. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

I pull a 2016 Wrangler JKU which weighs around 4500lbs loaded for travel, so it's under the max hitch weight of 5000lbs. Our 2018 Navion pulls it easily. The Navion, weighs around 10600lbs loaded for travel. Add the 2 together and we're about 150 lbs under the 15250lbs GCWR. The fuel economy drops from 15mg solo, to 13mpg pulling.

I tow a 2018 Wrangler Sahara 2 door with no problems behind my 2019 View 24V. We loose about 2 mpg, but that's a small price to pay for the convenience of having a vehicle to use when parked. I used the Roadmaster baseplate on the Jeep, a Sterling All Terrain tow bar and Evenbrake brake system. There are others that will work just as well, but I've had good luck with Roadmaster products in the past.
