Car Forum / Jeep / August 2007Towing a 10' Popup
Just bought a used popup camper. The tow vehicle is a '93 XJ with 4.0L and automatic transmission. Should I be towing in "D" or in "1-3"? Thanks, Mark '93 XJ > Just bought a used popup camper.

Dick  SignaturePosted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com Main reason to not tow in OD is that the tranny tends to 'hunt' (shifts in and out of OD) If the trailer is light enough it works fine in OD and you get better gas mileage. >>>Just bought a used popup camper.

SignaturePosted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com I recently completed a 2,000 mile trip in a 2001 Cherokee Sport (4.0 liter, automatic, I believe a Cherokee is an XJ?) pulling a nine foot pop-up from an altitude of 1,200 feet to over 8,000 MSL. The vehicle did just fine in "D" on the level, but I had to down shift quite a bit when going up hill and down. I found that for running around in the mountains, 3rd seems to work best if you can maintain 35 MPH or better. Once in the mountains I used it almost exclusively, save for those times I spent under 35, and then it was down into 1-2. Coming down the mountains (tight, winding S-turns) required almost continuous use of 1-2 to save on brakes. The Cherokee picked up speed very quickly, pushed by the 1200 lb. trailer. I initially relied on brakes alone, but after smelling them, use of 1-2 became constant, despite the slower speed. I just pulled into turn-offs whenever I got a line of folks behind me. It takes more time, but it saves on brakes and prevents their failure. And, for what it's worth, I installed a new set of Bosch platinum plugs in the Cherokee and saw my gas mileage increase 3-5 MPG, even while pulling the trailer in the mountains.

If or when your engine develops an idle miss that no one can figure out, remember those plugs....

I only upshift when there's a slight grade or the engine acts like it's starting to lug a bit. Your XJ's 4.0L is a real torque-monster so until you get onto a grade, it should be fine in OD.

Even more so if tires are bigger than stock. BTW, OD on a automatic is a taller ratio than OD on your manual is too and unlike your manual, the different clutch is used in OD which is not a strong as drive clutch. >I tow a pop-up behind my TJ and use overdrive (5th gear) most of the >time.
