Car Forum / Jeep / March 2006Towing
I have a 95 Jeep Cherokee (Commander) with the Rease hitch. Considering using it to haul a John Deere tractor (1700lbs) with a front end loader(200lbs) and a backhoe attachment (500lbs). If I can use this vehicle to tow with (has trany cooler), what type of utility trailer do I need to haul it with?

And make sure the trailer brakes work. Double check your owners manual, but I believe your max tow capacity is 2000#. You told us about 2400#'s in tractor, plus the weight of a trailor. So you are going to be way over that max limit. With that much weight you would be much better off with a full sized truck of some kind. >I have a 95 Jeep Cherokee (Commander) with the Rease hitch.

No need for a huge truck. 2005+ V6 Toyota Tacomas are rated @ 6500 right off the lot with the Toyota tow package. Even a Honda Ridgeline is rated for 5000. : > Double check your owners manual, but I believe your max tow capacity is : > 2000#. You told us about 2400#'s in tractor, plus the weight of a trailor.

No! Seriously!

Since you're dunk or silly, how's that Yukon compare to your old K-Whopper? <G> Just don't be comparing a Japanese made car with a Real American car.

Careful, your mullet is needing a trim and distorting your vision. <G> I own a Jeep and a Toyota, and there are plenty of things that DC could learn from Toyota.

If you have a cooler on the automatic, it is rated for 5000 lb tow in my owners manual.

U-Haul has a two axle car hauler with electric brakes that would probably work. Without investing much, you could rent one locally for a day and see how it performs.

You are quoting 2400 pounds of tractor. this will run nicely on any of the tandom axle car hualer trailers. Brings your total load up to around 4000 pounds. Single axle trailers will be too small, they typically run 2950 pound gross weight so they can be run without brakes, and you gotta have brakes! My local has new tandom trailers for around $1500 or so, quite reasonable. Earl suggested renting a car hualer from U-Hual for the day to see how it tows, EXCELLENT suggestion. > I have a 95 Jeep Cherokee (Commander) with the Rease hitch.
