Towing

[Elly]

Thinking about towing a small uhaul trailer m 4 x 8. Minimum weight inside, 4 winter tires and a few light things. 2008 liberty can handle this?? Let me know. Thanks

Sure. Stay out of overdrive.

I've towed a 16' enclosed trailer. CRD tow rating is 5000# but the trailer wasn't near that. The v6 is rated for less but it should be fine.

Yup, 08 can do it even without the factory tow package. As stated, push the tow/haul button to lock out 4th gear.

Moved to the KK General discussion Section, as Elly has a 2008 KK.

Thanks, forgot about that button.

Just be aware you will likely be hearing a LOT of road noise coming from the trailer. I've had to tow a 12ft U-Haul, and it was noisy, but the loudest experience was towing a dolly with my kids roommates Hyundai (overheated on a road trip - Dad to the rescue...) and I swore it was going to tear loose from all the road noise. Had zero issues towing the 3700lbs combined weight, though.
