'67 overlander.

'67 overlander.

Isn't the dry weight for an Airstream 67 Overlander 4,180lbs?

Somewhere around that. Probably 4600-4700 loaded up.

Isn't the JLUR towing maxed at 3,000lbs though? I've been looking at campers and I'm not finding anything I really like that is under 3,000lbs so this could be promising if the JLUR could tow more.

Nothing big, but I had to switch out the winch hook. I think the Factor 55 FlatLink looks cleaner

3500 is the rating. I have a weight distributing hitch with proper sized bars and sway control. It does better than my '89 grand wagoneer and it's 5000lb tow rating. I think the low rating is due to the removable roof, not any physical limitation. It's at least as capable as my mom's 2017 grand Cherokee, which has a 6500lb tow rating (and same drivetrain with shorter wheelbase). It's about the same as my half ton pickup without wd hitch. I was a little worried about cooling but peak trans temp was 203, peak oil temp 244 and peak coolant temp 220 going over afton mountain (85 outside temp). It did 65mph without drama in light hills, 55 up the mountain in 5th gear.

Excellent. Thank you for this very valuable information. About the rating due to the removable roof, what do you mean? Again, thank you very much.

Liability in case of an accident.

Picked up this perfect fitting basket from Harbor Frieght

 

[Tgpj83]

Installed rear seat recline kit and a rear cargo area tray seat back liner.

You can’t tell from the picture but recline kit makes a HUGE difference.

Thanks! Do you think it's too reclined for a rear-facing car seat?
