I have a 19-6 Javelin Bass Boat and 150 outboard. Boat, motor and gear - fuel etc, weighs in at 2500 pounds. Can I safely tow that with the Liberty. Looking to dump my Expedition and really like the Liberty.

Yes. Make sure your tongue weight is greater than 10% of trailer weight but less than 500 lbs.

Depending on the distance and type of terrain You plan to tow on I would put an additional cooling fan/cooler combo for the transmission, the fan switch is triggered by a t-stat so You don't need to do much about it.

If the Libby you're looking at has the factory tow package you're in great shape. It will tow your boat with ease.

If there is not a tow package on the Jeep (the Class III hitch, wire harness and the mechanical fan) then it may be worth looking for a Liberty that has it, or if you're mechanically inclined add the components yourself.

The hitch is easy - many places sell the hitch. The harness can be purchased from aftermarket places but the factory harness is plug-n-play - if you can find one. Several online places have them but depending on whether the Jeep you buy has an EVIC overhead console you may need to buy what's called a supplemental harness.

The mechanical fan can be purchased from Mopar, the fan clutch from places like Summit Racing - but the fan shroud and electric fan are difficult to find. I bought mine from the place on eBay: HD Shroud & Electric Fan

Hope this helps!

Bob
