[QUOTE="WILL E, post: 956687, member: 69290"] Have you tried towing with it loaded yet? I am considering open towing a SJ Cherokee (about 4500lbs) on an open trailer (about 1700) about 600 miles (each way) from AZ to Colorado (that means some grades will be encountered). v8 4x4 2008 Would be interested to hear experiences. I would be about 800 lbs lower than the rating. I am going to go weigh the cherokee to find out it's real weight. It's mostly stock except I tossed on some 35" tires. I have removed the back seat, the trailer hitch, it has no power windows or seats, and I swapped out the intake for an aluminum one as well the an alumimum radiator. So while I can use 'curb weight' as a guide (4500lbs) my actual weight will be different (and hopefully less) [/QUOTE]
