Can the 2025 Wagoneer Really Tow 10,000 Pounds around Lake Saint Louis, MO?
Century Jeep - Can the 2025 Wagoneer Really Tow 10,000 Pounds around Lake Saint Louis, MO?
The short answer is capability with purpose: the 2025 Wagoneer is engineered for serious towing and composed road manners, a rare blend that makes everyday errands as easy as weekend adventures around Lake Saint Louis, MO. If you are wondering how that up to 10,000-pound maximum towing capacity translates to real life, this guide breaks it down with practical context and tips.
At its core is the available Hurricane Twin-Turbo I6, rated up to 420 horsepower and 468 lb-ft of torque. That broad torque plateau helps get you moving smoothly with a loaded trailer and holds speed on rolling hills without constant downshifts. Properly equipped, the 2025 Wagoneer achieves a Best-in-Class maximum towing capacity of up to 10,000 pounds, covering many 22- to 24-foot boats, sizeable campers, and utility trailers carrying ATVs or landscaping equipment. The longer standard wheelbase contributes to stability, while the chassis tuning maintains a calm, confident ride—important when you are sharing the road with crosswinds or passing semis.
Beyond the numbers, smart technology elevates the towing experience. Available camera views help with hitch alignment and lane changes, and over 140 standard and available safety and security features support confident cruising. Inside, stress stays low thanks to expansive space and premium touches. The Class-Exclusive available McIntosh® Entertainment System upgrades audio clarity so your favorite playlists can fill the cabin even when the world outside gets loud. For families mixing towing with road trips, that quiet confidence matters as much as raw muscle.
- Boat owners: Many bowriders, wake boats, and fishing rigs fall within the capability range—verify dry weight and trailer weight, then account for fuel and gear.
- Camping enthusiasts: A wide range of travel trailers fit comfortably; always factor in water, propane, and supplies when calculating gross trailer weight.
- Weekend projects: Utility trailers hauling lumber, equipment, or mulch can be handled with ease when you balance tongue weight and distribute cargo properly.
Preparation is the difference between a good towing day and a great one. Check hitch ratings, confirm tongue weight, inspect tires for proper load ratings, and test your lighting connections. If you are new to towing, practice low-speed maneuvers in a large, open lot to learn turning radius and braking distances. The vehicle’s stable wheelbase and responsive powertrain make those first practice sessions feel intuitive.
Frequently Asked Question:
Do I need special equipment to reach the up to 10,000-pound maximum?
Yes. You will need the proper hitch hardware and a configuration that supports the maximum rating. Always verify your specific vehicle’s setup, consult the owner’s manual, and confirm trailer weights, tongue weight, and any additional accessories that affect ratings. If you need help, Century Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram can walk you through recommended towing equipment and setup best practices.
For daily driving without a trailer, the same engineering that makes this SUV tow confidently also makes it easy to live with. Steering is precise, road noise remains muted, and the cabin’s generous dimensions keep passengers comfortable on every errand run and school pickup. And if you need even more cargo room, Wagoneer L offers expanded space while preserving the composed ride and premium feel you expect.
