Cherokee for towing

Joined: 28 Oct 2002 Location: Toowoomba

Just wondering what sort of loads these things can tow. Could they tow a trailer with a rockbuggy etc or are they a bit small?

No probs.....fitted with a HaymanReese or Towmaster the XJ can tow about 2275kg....legally...
BTW the new grand can tow something like 3000kg legally....
Anyways I know a few people that regularly tow car trailers etc with XJ's.... oh yeah & I'm currently looking for a boat (16' ½cabin fibreglass jobbie) with will be towed behind my missus XJ....

As Wooders said Gaz you should have no probs towing yours.
Towing that big heavy thing of Craigs may be diff thing.

My old man used to tow his 2500kg Whittley behind his XJ no worries before he traded it.

I towed the boat from Melb to Merimbulah and back with the XJ and although it was a bit light for that load (read: tail wagging the dog Shocked

) it was still doing it pretty comfortably as long as you drive sensibly.

Cheers.
