Patriot with higher towing capacity
I need to vent about this. I was looking on Jeep's website and noticed that the Patriot has double the towing capacity of my JK!
JK Unlimited with manual tranny and 3.21 gears can only tow 1000 lbs
Jeep Patriot w/ tow package can tow 2000 lbs
I still don't understand why the jk unlimited with 3.21 has less than a third of the tow capacity of the 3.73 geared but now knowing that a patriot can tow double is just ridiculous.

Not to hijack you thread (but I am). A friend told me yesterday she was thinking of trading her Commander for either a Hummer H3 or Dodge Nitro (she also has a JK and Lotus Exige). Must be the full moon or I need to be more selective about my friends.
