grand cherokee tow limits???

(1/8) > >>

marsie:
I am thinking of replacing my old 4.2 landcruiser with a grand cherokee.The problem is conflicting specs for tow capacities so i would appreciate if any of you guys could shed some light on it for me.I will need it to tow a 2axle trailer with a 2.2ton landrover challenge car(total about 3.1tons)but some websites say the gc has a tow limit of 2.8tons whereas others say 3.5tons :?  

oh,and i am looking at around 1999-2001ish and either 3.1d or 4.0/4.7with lpg if it makes any difference  :wink:
Ta very much

offroading.net:
i will check the book but IIRC it is sub 3tonnes

tim_aka_tim:
My 3.1TD was 3.5tons. Dunno about the petrol ones.
BTW, towing a Lardy with a Jeep is the ultimate oxymoron!

 :lol:  :lol: I am afraid my faith in landrovers has dropped over the past few years,i think the defender is a fantastic car but the others have got too clever for their own good.If landrover stuck to basics they wouldnt go too far wrong but they are now aiming for the rockstar/footballist market and forgetting what made them so popular in the first place :roll:

If the tow limit is 3.5t i am ok,if it is below 3 then they are off the list i am afraid :? .I sold a turbo deisel cherokee(not grand) a few years ago because the limit was 2.8t so i am hopeing the grand has a higher limit

minimog:
acording to 4x4 mag the legal tow limet for the grand is 3500kgs
the others are landrover defender
diatsu fourtrak izuzu trooper
 most of the others are only rated to 2800kgs
