Default 01 Cherokee Towing

My buddy is moving about a 100 miles away and asked me if i could tow his 78 trans am on a car trailer down there with my jeep. I've never towed anythin like that before does anyone no if the jeep would be able to handle it.

From what I have heard and what i have done around 4000 lb's is the heaviest. But that is me and I prefer to be on the conservative side.
