    I've always thought my max capacity was 5000#. I ran the VIN through Jeep and the equipment report has 6500# with Weight Distribution Hitch??

    Can anyone tell me what this means ..... Here's what it had printed:

    That VIN# information for 3500 lb towing should be accurate for your Jeep based on the build specs for engine, gearing, HD cooling, transmission etc. IMO I’d recommend adding an auxiliary ATF cooler, severe OCI, and stick close to the recommended towing limits since you don’t have the bigger motor or gears for max tow
