I've got a 98 4.0 w/ AW4 & the factory tow package (trans cooler, hitch & connector) with ZJ rear disc brakes.
All the fluids are new, car is in good shape mechanically.
I've also got a 57 Chevy longbed pickup truck ~130 miles away. It weighs ~ 3,400 lbs. Figure another 400 lbs or so for the two-wheel dolly type trailer I might borrow from my buddy.
I know the cherokee is rated to tow 5,000 but something doesn't quite sit right about towing ~4,000 worth of truck & trailer with my Cherokee. Am I being too nervous about this?
Should a two-wheel trailer work fine, or do I need to go for an all-four-tires type deck trailer?
I've never towed anything but a smallish camper with the Cherokee and just don't know if I'm being nervous for no reason or for good reason.
What say y'all?
