Can a Jeep Wrangler Tow As Well As a Small Truck? Let’s find out!

[@Youssef-xo8vw]

Mr Truck + Andre = best pair at TFL !! Every week i wait for new videos from you two guys ! Love from Switzerland

[@TFLoffroad]

Thank you so much for watching and the kind comments.

[@dalejones4322]

You guys are a great team. Always happy to see a video with you two. Thanks guys

[@bosse641]

Such a fun team these two.

[@TFLoffroad]

Thank you for watching.

[@DuaneCaldwell]

That Accuair system is impressive. May have to put it on my wishlist for my 4Runner build, if they ever make compatible kits.

[@LukeEdward]

That few moments at 3:30 (at every launch) shows the level of research and engineering that has went into this kit. That Instant Center is dialed perfect, Acuair! Well done.

[@bostondan77]

Love it when Mr. Truck and Andre wear the hats. Thanks for the video guys.

[@MrTruckTV]

Thanks

[@hahaadventures4838]

Jeep needs to upgrade the powertrain like yesterday! Get that I6 turbo in the Jeeps asap!

[@billn911]

On my towing dream list was always a short wheelbase, V6 that weighs less than my trailer. TFL making dreams come true ❤

[@dad2817]

Absoolooootlyyy!

[@-Jethro-]

😂 Don’t forget to add a high center of gravity and tall squirmy off road tires. Then do full throttle pulls from every stop. Now that’s towing!

[@dorianharmon47]

And dog motor

[@Wild_Wandering]

That Colorado is so much faster from the weight savings. Unnecessary weight like cruise control just slows you down.

[@WW-wf8tu]

"Your truck still runs?!😲" 🤣 Well asked Mr. Truck. Thought it was a Ford for a moment. 😂 You are a character sir. 🤠

[@MrTruckTV]

Thanks

[@AdventureRocks]

Fun video. Love the hats! Always fun when Mr. Truck and Andre get together.

[@MrTruckTV]

Thanks

[@dannyloughman]

Compare these two for fuel economy on your test loop, also a 60-70mph test. Those are the best tests for how well something tows, along with the Ike Pass.

[@mikejohnston5159]

“Thought this was a ford for a second!” You weren’t sitting still for THAT long 😂

[@nlken7175]

Love when Andre and Mr. Truck makes a video. It's the best. 10-4 rubber duck. Jeep needs more power period!!!

[@MrTruckTV]

Thanks

[@lowcountryrob170]

I would love to see this test done with the 2.0 turbo.

[@linhunnicutt6556]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@LukeEdward]

If you can get one of the early M.Y. with the eTorque, you’d be extremely surprised. That extra 70ft/lbs up to 1500RPM is very much appreciated.

[@machfive916]

The Jeep's 0-60 MPH with the trailer was fast..........when you compare it to Andre's H-2 when it towed his boat from 0-60 MPH in 35.77 seconds. Still one of the funniest tow tests ever.

[@tfcooks]

Mr.Truck seems to have been losing weight. Looking good and healthy. 👍

[@TFLoffroad]

Mr.Truck is a handsome devil.

[@MrTruckTV]

Thanks

[@superglidemustang]

You boys look like a couple of Toy Story Cowboys in those hats.

[@theglitch99]

Drop a hellephent crate motor in it and your power needs will be met!

[@matthewprather7386]

Remember when the Wrangler got the 3.6 Pentastar and everyone was excited by how much faster it was than the JK with the old 3.7 “minivan motor”? How times have changed! 😮

[@freedomisntfree_44]

Rather have the old inline 6 4.0. Best engine ever put in a jeep.

[@stanludorf2311]

3.8. Wrangler never got the 3.7, but they should have. Not a great motor but better than the 3.8.

[@spcneary]

The 3.8 only lived in the wrangler for a handful of years between the 4.0 and the 3.6. The 3.8 was a dog turd, the 3.6 is a slightly more powerful dog turd, the 4.0 used to have more power than you could use in a wrangler.

[@stanludorf2311]

@spcneary the 3.6 has like 100 more hp than the 4.0. The jeeps it was put in were tin can deathtraps that didn't weigh anything, that's why it felt like so much power. The 4.0 and the 3.8 had similar power, a jk is just much heavier so it feels so much slower.

[@scottythebody0811]

@@freedomisntfree_44 Agreed. I’d like to see the 4.0 with a better head and fuel system.

[@wesshepard]

“Mr. Truck is a high-performance man!” 😂

[@MrTruckTV]

Thanks

[@brennan5220]

My Rubicon 392 tows great!!💪💪💪

[@svpracer98]

I could see the shorty wheelbase being a concern when towing with a jeep... Sure it's a "boxed" frame and solid axle, but I see it being too short to be a comfort ride at the very least.

[@jawsxx8683]

I've towed with trucks and wranglers. I prefer the wrangler when the loads not too heavy.

[@mikewilkins136]

would love to see the trailboss hitting more trails in a future video !!

[@scottyellis3442]

Andrea & Mr. Truck makes the best team. With that said, those engines in that jeep are trash, yes they might have put them in a lot of different vehicles, but that doesn't mean they're good. Personally, I'm glad they use them as much as they do, as a 40-year macanic, they pay my mortgage and put my grandson through college. So I hope Stellantis keeps making them, keeps me in business.

[@MrTruckTV]

Thanks

[@briankay5384]

The cowboy hats are killing me 😂

[@jasoncameron194]

These 2 guys together make for some great videos!!

[@MrTruckTV]

Thanks

[@nightninja8128]

Now I gotta see that Mr. Truck trailer drift!

[@MrTruckTV]

Me too, I have done it on the Ford proving ground

[@Marti60628]

AccuAir solves the issue of suspension - but what about braking and cooling?

[@Stuka87]

The Wrangler having 35’s really slows it. I think if it has the 4cyl turbo it would have done better.

[@polarisflyer]

Not that it's an even comparison, but a better test would have pinned a Gladiator against the Colorado.

[@killercan10]

Must be an elevation thing still at play with the Colorado time? My 2022 Silverado refresh with the 2.7 HO can consistently snap 6.8-7.1 0-60mph runs at about 400 ft ASL so that Colorado should easily be as fast if not a hair faster being lighter than a Silverado.

[@Tony-hf9mv]

How about lending the truck to accuair for a Colorado setup

[@anthonysourdiff1835]

You guys are great to watch. I love your videos. 👍

[@MrTruckTV]

Thanks

[@kkamp0528]

I need to hang out with these guys 😂 always a hoot

[@MrTruckTV]

Yes

[@braydonbriggs9066]

You must be launching that Colorado wrong. I've ran sub 7 second 0-60 on my 23' Colorado.

[@brianmaloney5430]

Get the HO tune

[@ryanhessler8966]

I see Andre extended his temp tags on that Colorado 🤔 I'm guessing he isn't liking his choice they just decided to keep it as a content maker

[@jackrussellville]

I would never tow anything more than a 4 x 8 lawnmower trailer with my YJ, and it would have to be empty or be very lightly loaded

[@greyrushgreen]

Andre, a slight tangent question ... I'm trying to find an OBD port device that can display the turbo boost pressure (and don't care if it's psi or kPa) while driving in my new Colorado Z71 (L3B engine). In one of your videos a while back I think you were using a Banks iDash to get 0-60 numbers, if so, does your Banks device also show boost pressure? I just tried a cheap device off Amazon and it's always showing 0 psi for boost, so I'm trying to verify a device that does before I buy it. And, it might be interesting to show boost pressure in your Trail Boss while doing some of your tests with it. Thx.

[@ryandoyle4344]

Sure there's a plethora of options, but found: Autometer DASHLINK OBD2 BLUETOOTH DIGITAL GAUGES

[@desertdude7359]

I'll pass on having an air tank behind my head 😬😬😬😬

[@sudahb]

So a 'modified' Jeep, which isn't the norm, can actually tow. How about a stock Jeep???

[@jeepinintexas6215]

It will still tow the same weight but have some squat. But the 2024 JL will be able to tow more weight (5k lb) because of the new full floating rear axle.

[@donaldchadwick5482]

When we going to see a ford 6.2 vs 6.8 super ike

[@jarred267]

This is not a vehicle VS vehicle test. It's a paid ad for the air suspension company. You cant compare a jeep with a max optioned tow capacity of 3500 pounds, to a truck with a lowest possible rating of 3500, and a max option of 7000. Might as well be comparing the tow capacity of an Explorer and a Silverado 3500 dually

[@superior54]

Ranger Raptor 24 ?

[@theirthereandtheyre2947]

I once towed with a 2 door wrangler ( TJ ). Too squirrelly. Definitely do not recommend it.

[@PrincessTS01]

lol 3.6 Pentastar, get the hurricane 2.0 turbo or the 392

[@TWX1138]

I won't deny that testing towing just raw payload max numbers is valid, but I'd much rather see this test done towing something like a 3500# Jayco Jayflight Baja Edition travel trailer. These trailers are spring-over single-axle jobs with larger fresh water and propane storage, allowing someone to go both further into the wilderness and to stay there longer before needing water and fuel for heat and/or cooking. the travel trailer adds the wind resistance component, and frankly is more likely if the jeep is doing the towing, since the occupants can get off into the forest or desert for camping, and then use the jeep for some four wheeling while they're camping. The off-road part is fairly small, but the highway part just getting to the trailhead is a pretty big deal.

[@madguitarist]

Meh. the 3.6 V6 did 0-60 in 6.1 seconds. I expected more from the turbo 4.

[@richarddubois5529]

Mr truck is right all trucks should have air suspension especially chassis cabs!

[@MrTruckTV]

Thanks

[@electrikoptik]

My wife’s Honda Pilot can tow more than any Wrangler 😂😂

[@LandParkColby]

The Chevy sounds like the transmission slips a lot between gears? The turbo makes a huge difference!

[@jeepinintexas6215]

It probably does slip. I know a guy with a 2022 Trail Boss Silverado and it's already having transmission issues. The turbo definitely helps out especially where those TFL yuppies are located in high elevation Colorado. GM has been going downhill for a number of years now and with their diversity pick CEO Marry Barra at the helm, I'll stay away from their product.

[@LandParkColby]

@@jeepinintexas6215 My biggest problem with GM products lately - their engineering seems like it compromises on so many details.

Why don't they just offer the Jeep with the 5.7 hemi. Get the best of all worlds.

[@toddbob55]

I would trust any vehicle over a GM product

[@vg3430]

This is NOT a towing test. It’s a commercial for air system, trailer and hitch with a 0-60 test with and without a trailer. No one drag races when hitched to a trailer. Disappointed where this channel has gone over the last year.

[@Cosminox54]

"Wait, your truck still runs??" "Of course it still runs!" *Truck is running on 3 cylinders and is knocking like mad, blowing smoke in every way possible with the transmission slipping constantly* Jokes aside, that truck mechanically speaking is proving to be quite good.

[@jasonlarsen3515]

Even u hauls have cruise control now

[@doggedlydetermined7022]

The 3.6 pentastar has zero power, especially torque. Painful to drive

[@stanludorf2311]

Compared to what? It has almost 300hp

[@gregwalton816]

It's a good reliable engine I tow my 18 ft deep v lund boat with mine just get the better towing ⚙️ gears I got the 3 .55 it's fine😊

[@stevent3450]

if you lose weight both of you then you could gain much better numbers :) just saying, I am 136lbs, I bet I could hop in the same truck/ jeep and do a sec better or better.:)

[@vaprojecto]

Most of us weighed more than that in Middle School. 😂

Andre is 6’2” tall. If he weighed 136 pounds he’d be dead.
