2008 Jeep Liberty as toad January 13, 2021, 10:03:08 pm We own a 2008 Jeep Liberty (4x4 trail rated) and would like to use it as a toad for our 2003 RB. The curb weight is 4300 lbs. I remember some LDOG members saying they have toads over the recommended 4000 lbs. I would like to hear opinions and about possible ways to beef up the towing gear before we spend the money to have it painted and set up to be “toad”. I got the Jeep new in 2008 and love it still, warts and all!Thanks,Linda C 1 Likes

Re: 2008 Jeep Liberty as toad Reply #3 – January 14, 2021, 04:01:51 pm I tow a 2012 Jeep Liberty (aka "Thirsty Girl"). Welcome to the fun.I went to a tow hitch installer and had them beef up my hitch by installing some extra steel (with it's extra weight). I can handle up to 8000 lbs as long as I stay within my overall weight capacity limits.I did have my fully loaded LD and Jeep 4 corner weighed afterward and I was good. I actually keep shedding weight the longer I have the LD as I remove items I don't really use. 3 Likes

We are not yet sure what system we want to use, however.Thank you all for your guidance.
