I bought a new TV about 6 weeks ago...a 2003 Dodge Durango SXT with full towing package. I would HIGHLY recommend it!!
 
 I had been towing my Utah with a 99 Jeep Cherokee. It could pull it but it had to struggle!
 
 I wanted a mid-size SUV so I started looking around online. I looked at the Chevy Trailblazer, the Jeep Grand Cherokee, etc. But the Durango had more towing capacity than anything else I looked at in that size! I ve always liked the Durangos anyway. Dodge was offering a $4500 rebate on Durangos (they still are, I think), and my local dealer offered me a good deal on Jeep.
 
 The Durango already had a hitch and a receptacle for the lights. I had my Coleman dealer install the brake controller that had been in the Jeep. The Durango had a harness up under the dash for the brake controller, so it was pretty simple for them to install. It also has the heavy duty battery and alternator, and transmission cooler. And it has extra wide towing mirrors.
 
 Towing the Utah with the Durango is a world of difference than with the Jeep! In addition to towing the PU without straining, it stopped better and I could see better.
 
 Buy a Durango!!
