Default Towing a car with my Jeep

I've got a 93 Jeep cherokee XJ. Aw4 trans with aux cooler and C8.25 with 3.55 gears, class 3 hitch

Buddy asked me to tow his 3,000lb Mustang 2 hours to the track. I DO have 26" wheels I can throw on that should make it a little bit easier. Not too sure what the average car trailer weighs..

Can it be done??

pulling power is rarely a problem, it's the braking

A quality brake controller like a P3 from http://www.tekonsha.com/content/prod...1435%20&part=0 will save your a$$ one day.
