Towing Capacity for 2006 Jeep Commander V6
Question:
Can a 2006 v6 Jeep commander tow a camper that weighs 3000 lbs without trailer Brakes, a different axel or different wheels? Or in other words could this car tow this camper as it is? Thank you

I looked up the towing capacity for your 2006 Jeep Commander with a V6 and it's 3,500 lbs without any additional components installed. If you need a hitch installed as well we have the Draw Tite part # 75338 which has more than enough capacity.
For trailer wiring the part # 118408 will give you the easiest to install and most reliable kit.
Since you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
