Has anyone pulled a r-171 with a Jeep Wrangler Sport ?
Sure would like a report on the effectiveness of this Jeep.

Hi Jim,
I just picked up a 2010 174 Pod last week and towed it home with my 2011 two door Wrangler Sport (220 miles).  It is a manual and handled the weight ok.  I mostly run it in 5th gear but had no trouble with sway or maintaining highway speed (60-70 mph).  I did not have the trailer brakes wired for the Jeep but did not miss them.  I imagine a 3.6 liter with an automatic would do better. 

Happy camping!  
Respectfully,
Southwest Kansas R-Pod 2010
