What year Wrangler? What does the owners manual say. Forgive me, but, cars trucks, rv's milk bottles.. I don't care.. "the dealership" is usually the last place to look for the truth.

I understand ALL 2017 Wranglers, have a 3500 tow rating.

The dealership, nor manufacturer can "void your warranty" for adding a hitch.. Feel free to google the Magnuson Moss Act, and take a copy to your dealership.

2017 Wrangler specs..

	You are still a few hundred pounds short of the GVWR of a 178 even with a factory hitch. If you are careful to keep your R-Pod under 3500, you will be operating at the ragged edge. I can pull over 6000, but still wanted to keep it under 4000, hence my R-Pod. I love my 178, so I'll lobby you to upgrade your tow vehicle to at least 5000 to pull 4000. BTW, don't go by empty weight. Your TV should be able to handle a fully loaded trailer (GVWR) with room to spare.

	I hope someone can save me some heart-ache. We have just purchased R178- weight 2554 due to pick up next week. I happen to call a jeep dealership to confirm my jeep had the tow capacity. Internet told me 3500 dealership told me only 2000. I asked why- it's because the hitch was not factory installed. When I asked if my jeep could be retrofitted they said it would void the warranty. Either I get rid of my jeep or I get rid of the RPod- neither of which I am happy about doing. my jeep is a 4 door wrangler unlimited sport 4 x 4 v6 Any suggestions before I slit my wrists (not really)
