Well hang onto your cap. We’ve got snow, you’ve got sand. I dunno but I think I’ll take the snow. It melts and doesn’t get into your engine-usually.

The two feet of snow in Denver completely nixed my daily Ford stock freight truck for today.

According to my research\*, the towing capacity of a 1998 Jeep Wrangler is 2,000 pounds.  
…so, no. Don’t try to do it.

A new one maxes out at 3500 lbs. This baby isn’t new and it’s unreliable. It probably would not be a good option just driving back and forth to work.
