Second TRX...or 392 Wrangler??

...but it still a short wheelbase solid front axle, and high center of gravity; so its by no means an optimal tow vehicle for damn sure.

I wouldn't necessarily knock a live front axle for towing use. My Ram 3500 (a designated tow vehicle) has one, as did my Peterbilt. And (as far as I know) all other OTR tractors out there.

Drawbacks with a short wheelbase for towing I strongly agree with. A tow vehicle should be as long and heavy as possible, I think.

Yeah of course the TRX will be a better tow rig BUT I traded my PowerWagon for the 392 to lock in the really high trade in value they were giving me on it and not risk it dropping with the economy crashing. So I'm pulling stuff, boat, atvs, etc with the 392 until the TRX is ready. I was very pleasantly surprised with how well it did. And it's basic road manners unloaded are nothing short of excellent either.

Meanwhile, I wouldn't mention a 1500 and tow rig in the same sentence.
Okay, I just did, but not voluntarily.

No worse than my PowerWagon, as a matter of fact the Payload of my PW was lower than 75% of the TRXs I've seen posted on here...

And here I thought that Power Wagons are 2500s...with substantially stronger parts underneath. But I've been wrong before.

Also, I differentiate between payload and tow ratings, since they are two different things.

Lots of rumors of a RAM Rebel 2500 diesel coming out in 2023 that will have some of the off-road capability of the Power wagon but with much higher payload & towing. It will be interesting to see if RAM follows through with it.

It'd be really interesting to see how they could increase the payload while using a heavier engine. Tow ratings could certainly go up, but the payload realistically would go down.

After all, the 10,000 GVWR ceiling is what makes a 2500's payload so miserably low, even though a 2500 is for the very most part the same as a 3500.

Does 392 come with 2 batteries like all the other wranglers?
Also, does 392 have start/stop feature ( which i hate) or doesn't like the the TRX

How much I love that about TRX, there are no words to describe it
