Is there anyone that's using a Cherokee to tow another Cherokee?
Is it as simple as getting a tow hitch and a trailer?
Is there anything I need to do to get the Cherokee ready to become a 'tow' rig?

Thanks

 

Mine came with the tow package... which included a tranny cooler.

Your gonna want one of those.

 

cool, i have a b and m that i have lying around

 

i had to tow an escort with the jeep it pulled ok, but you might want to think about better brakes if your going to be towing all of the time.

 

i tow a boat with mine all the time. does alright, little overheating and a little slower up hills but thats expected

 

maybe something like vented or cross drilled rotors and stainless brake lines?

 

i would never pull a cherokee with a cherokee long distance.

 

so from Chicago to the badlands wouldn't be a good idea?

 

Yeah when i hauled a huge steel trailer with mine, It was only like 15 miles.

You can tell that there is alot of stress on the motor and drivetrain thats for sure.

 

Dang, I was getting excited to not only have a DD Cherokee, but a tow rig as well...

 

X 2million....

There are alot more considerations than just power enough to tow...

I tow with a full sized Ford on a two axle trailer with brakes on the axles. There have been times I wish I had some more braking power or a sway control hitch.

 

i wouldnt. especially in Chicago.

 

Do it, just get an old J1000 or a Cherokee Chief. I would looove to have a Cherokee Chief or J1000 with a Cummins 6bt...modern electronics brakes and everything as a tow rig and then my XJ as a trail rig.

 

You need a transmission cooler, synthetic fluid in your rear diff and brakes on all the axles of the trailer at minimum. Preferably a sway control hitch and a disc brake conversion in the rear

 

i pulled a sami on a double axle steel trailer to haspin acres which is about an hour and a half away. we unloaded the sami off the trailer un hooked the trailer from my jeep and wheeled them all day then loaded back up and went home. i also had 33x12.5 boggers and 5 people in the jeep. it pulled alot better than i figured it would. it never scared me when i had to slow down either. my jeep had no front sway bar and it's country roads and hills all the way there. i say go for it....
