Anyone tow with a Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited?...we are looking into purchasing a used 2006 one and wonder how it would work pulling our TT.
Any input would be great...
Thanks

It would have to be a pretty light TT.

What is the GVWR on the TT?

Do you have the GVR and the GCVWR (Gross combined vehicle weight rating) on the Jeep? If you don't have it, get your VIN and call your local Jeep dealer service dept.. They can look it up for you.

Also find out if you have a factory tow package. The tow rating is useful but it really doesn't tell you much. All it tells you is the max weight that you may be able to tow with an empty vehicle. In the end, the critical # is the GCVWR minus the GVWR. That will tell you the maximum that you can legally tow with a fully loaded TV (up to the GVWR).

It would also be helpful to know the GRAWR (gross rear axle weight rating) and the tongue weight of the TT (loaded).

Towing is really more about stopping than it is about what you can pull. If you are over on the above #, you may be held liable (even criminally negligent in the event of an injury or death) in the event of an accident and your insurance may not cover you.

Ok, here are some of the answer I found..
1. GVWR  on the trailer is 3,750

2.GVWR  on the jeep is - 6,100 lbs

3. Towing Capacity 6,500 lbs
 That's all I have for know....What questions should I be asking the dealer??
