Probably not a total. It's not going to rust, and the driveline and brakes
are easily flushed out. The main concern would be the cheesy electrical
system.
Back to towing, I have hauled as much a 1500 Lbs trailer (with
brakes)carrying a 6500 Lbs.military truck for 700 miles.
Of course, my rig isn't stock, it's a 101 inch wheelbase jeepster with a 455
Buick, T-400, power disk front brakes, etc. It weights around 5000 lbs, but
it was still scary coming down the Grapevine into a wall of fog. I had it in
compound low with the hubs unlocked. This was before the lift and 35 in.

Nah, just set off the air bag and hope it works as a flotation

If wheelbase length is the controlling factor, it seems like there
would be a wide range of weights for different jeep wrangler-type
models. There's a pretty significant range of different lengths,
from the CJ5 on the short end to the CJ8 on the high end.
