    I have a '19 Off-Road with the tow package but I can't find specs on the clutch. I don't know if any of my manual friends out there have any info about how the OEM clutch does with mild off-roading/if clutch upgrades are even a trend.

    I haven’t heard anything about people upgrading their clutch. My 2020 is doing fine so far but I’ve smelt it burning several times. With 33 mud terrains, 4hi is geared too high for anything off-road; especially reverse. Keep it in 4lo

    i have a 2016... at 87k miles, i swapped the clutch, flywheel, and pressure plate with the URD stage 2 kit. I’ve been pretty happy... it has made some noise, but really settled down. Engagement is killer. Highly recommended upgrade if you’re going to be trailing or towing

    and accumulator delete mod!

    Great clutch. Although, URD looks to have discontinued the 3rd Gen 3.5L clutch. Hasn't been on their site for a long time.
