The Chrysler way of fixing the overheating problems when towing, easy as. Just lower the tow weight, why didn't we think of that one.

Think you meant unbraked mass? If so, since Jeep have nothing listed then it would be 750kg as per the national regulations for all vehicles.

Hopefully it causes people to rethink the purchase of these vehicles for towing purposes.

Although it doesn't say much for their confidence in the long term performance of these new auto transmissions.

there has to be a problem in design strength somewhere. most medium size fourbies have a tow rating of 3 tonne. could be soft suspension or weak drive line components. the jk was designed basically as a vehicle for offroad use in the states where it's great advertising campaign hilights its ability to climb over boulders not tow large trailers.
