I'll chime in on this. First to clarify a misconception, it's the DRIVETRAIN that matters not necessarily the engine size. JGCs with the factory tow package are rated the same with the exception of 2WD vs 4WD. WDHs are required over 3500 lbs.
I have a 2014 3.0L and I tow a Passport Elite 27RB. I agree it's not the best combination but I'm willing to compromise for the offroadability. Yeah, sometimes it's a case of the tail wagging the dog but not often and not to the white knuckle level.
Myself, the wife, and the dog are the only cargo in the Jeep, the rest is in the trailer - we don't pack a lot of stuff, we're not fulltimers. It would be much different if we were.
Is it the best? NO. is it capable? Yes
