In the manual the towing capacity is stated at 5,000 lbs that is of course for the USA.

5000 lbs = 2268 kgs which dosn't seem much for a 4x4?  :-\

The only people who hate towing are those that can't :-X


I can, reverse them as well, but I will never buy own one of the poxy things, even if I buy a transit van,.

The owners should be made to take a test with them,(lorryist's with trailer entitlement, exempted) no matter how long they've held a licence, and they should also be mot'd.
.



Don't see any problems with reversing a caravan , piece of piss just common sense & confidence even SWMBO can park ours up.
.

Have watched many a caravanist, try to reverse into a space bigger than there moosive, pikey house and fail, then the wife gets out, lots of arm flailing, and then they give up and leave, also some lorryist's aren't that good, maybe reversing is becoming a dying art form.

IIRC that's the reduced capacity as noted earlier specifically for the SRT v8 variant; the diesel has a 3500kg capacity.


Also, BG - driving is becoming a dying art form, reversing is just part of it.

According to Jeep UK it is an approved item & will meet MOT requirements ,  when you look around at some of the vehicles towing over here you really wonder if they are inspected on the test.

All good then  :y. Obviously my mistake.

I am looking at moving to the US in about a year or so and I have been looking at RVs.  I still could not bring myself to get a caravan but a nice class A motorhome would do it 8)
