Default Help With towing advice

Hello guys New on here and from the uk.

Looking at a grand cherokee 4.0 Limited 2001

Has a tow bar but not sure on a tow package

What can i actually tow with this

I am looking to tow a trailer 700kg and a car 1300kg

Any help would be great

Thank you

im assuming the car is going to be on the trailer...so 2000kg equals 4400lbs.
