GCWR rating number discrepency

[orangecrusher]

I've seen different numbers for the GCWR on a JLUR 3.6/6 speed. One which was posted in another thread by an admin which says that number is 11063, and another with a spec sheet that lists 8495 as the correct number. That's over a 2000 lb difference between those numbers. I'm looking at a trailer which is 3000 lbs dry and will be close to the capacity of my jeep so finding the correct number is important. I know there is another thread with what weight trailers people are towing. I'm not interested in that. I want to do my own calculations with the correct number. The dealer says I'm pushing it, even with a weight distributing hitch. Does anyone know where I can find the correct number?

Piggy back off this old thread that no one responded too...

I was reading the owners manual today for something else. Noticed that the GCWR (Gross Combined Wt. Rating) is less than the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Wt. Rating) and the Max. GTW (Gross Trailer Wt.) on the 4 door and only 100 pounds more than the 2 door... weird. Literally could only tow max if no occupants were in the vehicle, including driver. haha.

3.6L - 4 Door
GVWR = 5800#
Max. GTW = 3500#
GCWR = #8117#
Calculated total = 5800+3150(max trailer less tongue weight) = 8950#

3.6L - 2 Door
GVWR = 5250#
Max. GTW = 2000#
GCWR = 8016#
Calculated total = 5250+1800(max trailer less tongue weight) = 7050#

So now you see what I’m saying. I ended up buying a trailer at 2660 lbs and it tows just fine.

You need to get the Mahindra ROXOR Jeep clone. Towing capacity 3,500 pounds with a 62 hp engine.

Same. I bought a 2700# and about 3000# fully loaded. The jeep and the trailer on the scale total 8200#, so just (85#) over the GCWR. tows just fine, no issues. I just don't understand these weight ratings. Makes no sense.

Only makes sense to lawyers.
