12 Awesome Campers You Can Tow with a Jeep Wrangler (Plus 2 for Gladiator)
Jeep owners aren’t chasing luxury fifth wheels—we’re chasing trailheads, beach sand, and boondocking views. Wranglers aren’t tow champs, so the right match is almost always a lightweight teardrop, pop-up, or compact travel trailer.
Susan and I own a 2-door Wrangler that we flat-tow behind our motorhome. We don’t own a travel trailer, but we routinely test and film lightweight rigs through dealer demos, rentals, and owner meetups. Below is our short list of campers that pair well with Jeep limits, plus practical towing notes.
Can a Jeep Wrangler Tow a Camper Trailer?
Yes—with constraints. A 2-door Wrangler typically tops out around 2,000 lbs tow rating, which points you to teardrops and ultra-lights. The 4-door Wrangler usually rates 3,500 lbs, opening a few more options (still light).
If you want more headroom, the Jeep Gladiator can be rated up to 7,700 lbs, which accommodates small to mid-size trailers and even a truck bed camper.
How Much Can a Jeep Wrangler Tow?
Our 2-door Wrangler’s real-world limit keeps us focused on sub-2,000-lb UVW rigs and careful tongue-weight management. The 4-door’s 3,500-lb rating helps, but cargo, water, and options add up fast.
Always verify your specific VIN-level tow rating, tongue weight limit, axle ratios, and the trailer’s UVW, GVWR, and expected loaded weight.
How Much Can the Jeep Gladiator Tow?
Properly equipped Gladiators can tow up to 7,700 lbs. It’s the Jeep with the broadest trailer menu, though still lighter duty than many full-size pickups. If you crave “Jeep life” and a roomier trailer, Gladiator is the path.
12 Small Campers You Can Tow With Your Jeep
Since the 2-door and 4-door Jeep Wranglers have different tow capacities, we’ll break things down by model, with 5 Jeep campers for each.
The Gladiator’s beefier towing capacity means it’s easier to find trailers for it, but we’ll also give you a couple of options there too, including a truck bed camper!
5 Campers Towable with 2-door Jeep Wranglers (≤2,000 lbs UVW)
The 2-door Jeep Wrangler can tow up to 2,000 lbs so we found the best 5 camper trailers that weigh less than 2,000 lbs UVW.

Why Are Jeeps So Popular?
Jeeps are massively popular vehicles, and they have a cult of personality around them that few other cars can even hold a candle to. For example, we have mastered the “Jeep Wave” and we get ducked on a regular basis. But just why are they so popular?
Part of it is their classic and iconic design based on American military vehicles from World War 2. The Jeep’s versatility is also a big contributing factor to its popularity. It can be driven as a daily driver to and from work during the week, then taken out for off-road adventures on the weekend.
The thriving community of Jeep lovers is a big source of its popularity as well. You’re likely already familiar with the “Jeep wave” that owners share whenever they pass one another. But this is far from the only part of Jeep Mania—rubber duckies, meetups, and more all help contribute to the unique culture around these special vehicles.
Of course, even considering all this, there’s one main thing we can point to that makes Jeeps so popular: they’re just awesome!
Is It Safe to Tow a Camper with a Jeep?
Yes—if you run the numbers. Confirm:
- Tow rating & tongue weight (Jeep)
- Hitch class, ball mount rating, brake controller
- Trailer GVWR vs. real loaded weight (water, gear, batteries)
- Payload math (passengers + cargo + tongue weight ≤ Jeep payload)
We also recommend LT tires with proper load rating, trailer brakes (where required), and a weight-distribution hitch with sway control on the heavier end of Wrangler-friendly trailers.
Do Jeeps Get Good Fuel Economy While Towing?
Not really. Boxy shape + bigger tires + trailer drag = noticeable drop. Plan conservative fuel stops and pack light. Aerodynamic teardrops and keeping tanks light on travel days help.
Anecdote: How We Road-Test Options Without Owning a Trailer
Since we flat-tow our 2-door Wrangler behind our motorhome, we test Jeep-friendly campers through dealer demo days and owner meetups. One of our favorite weekends was swapping between a Bean Classic and a Luna back-to-back on the same forest road. The Bean felt bombproof on washboards; the Luna’s front panorama made morning coffee feel like an IMAX. Different vibes—both “Jeep right.”
Quick Shopping Checklist (Wrangler Focus)
- Target UVW ≤ 70–75% of your tow rating to leave margin for cargo
- Keep tongue weight ~10–12% of trailer weight and within Jeep limits
- Verify overall length and frontal area; aero matters with Wranglers
- Favor electric brakes, all-terrain rated tires, and good departure angle on off-pavement campers
- Weigh your setup (CAT scale) once loaded to confirm the math
Final Thoughts about Campers You Can Tow with a Jeep Wrangler
Wranglers can tow—within reason. The sweet spot is lightweight teardrops, pop-ups, and compact travel trailers under the Jeep’s limits. If you want more interior volume without leaving the Jeep life, Gladiator expands your choices dramatically.
We’ll keep testing lightweight rigs with our 2-door Wrangler so you can zero in on the best match for your adventures.
