Hey what's up ppl? I've been looking into getting myself a Jeep Wrangler of some sort, I enjoy the outdoors and love mudding, riding trails etc.. But I also enjoy fishing. I own a small aluminum boat that is really light but I do plan on upgrading in the future. I know Jeeps aren't the ideal vehicle for towing but honestly I just want an all in one vehicle that I can do all the things noted. Anyways my question to you guys is which Jeep is the absolute best for towing? Has the highest LBS cap and features? The jeep I buy will be a 4 door!! At the moment I can't afford brand new, somewhere in the $10,000 range. I just want to know which one is best, what features do I need to look for and ask about. I've been obsessed with this idea for awhile now and have googled this question a million times but keep getting mixed answers anywhere from 1000lbs-3500lbs so I'm confused to be honest, I came across this site and am familiar with forums so I figured who better to ask then you guys haha. Thanx for your help. Cheers

With that kind of price range in mind I would try looking at xj's or zj's they're comfy and spacious for highway use and towing, and very capable off road.

Problem with that is I'm not interested in any other style Jeep then the wrangler. Something tells me I should save till next summer..

The JKU with tow package (3.73) is good for up to 3500 lbs.

Yep the JKU (4 door) is the best, if you buy the tow package it comes with the 3.73 gear ratio and also comes with a tow sway control system. From what I heard buying automatic you will need a transmission cooler, buying a manual you'd be ok.
