My Jeep is being borrowed on Sunday to tow a horsebox to a show, I was rather reluctant but SIL in a fix so you do what you have to..... ::) ::)
Cant access the manual at the moment so just looking around on the internet Auto trader site put the maximum towing weight as 750 kg.... :o :o LWB 2.7 diesel...... we all see swb land rovers towing huge loads. A check on the internet for towing capacity says 5000lbs which is 2.2 Tonnes which is around what I would have expected. Generally other 4x4 on auto trader seem to be 750kg
Am I getting this all wrong?.... :-[ :-\ :-\

Should be two weights, one unbraked and one braked :y
750 and 2200 respectively sound plausible...
-
If memory serves me correctly the towing capacity for the Cherokee is 2800 braked.

Yes, thanks, mine is the 2.7 but some sites were saying up to 6500lbs. There will only be one horse in the box so easily within limits of a braked box...... :y :y
-
Unbraked is 750kg max,most of the big 4x4's are 3500kg braked towing weight,not sure on your jeep though Mike,should be in the handbooks though and on the chassis weight plate :y

If it's not going to be you driving, remember some new drivers will not have entitlement on their license for a train over 3.5 tonnes!
