I am not new to RV life and have owned and towed a number of RV types. I recently sold my 1T Dodge dually diesel and 36 ft. Fiver and am down-sizing to a PUP.
I have followed this forum for some time and have found the advice sound. My questions are generally directed to those owners of FR HW296 or HW29SC who tow with a similarly powered vehicle as I will tow with. Anyone else who wants to chime in is more than welcome.
My current tow vehicle is a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4X2, powered by a 3.6L gas engine, with tow package. It has 6200 lb. max tow capacity with a max trailer tongue weight of 620 lbs.
I believe that my Jeep is capable of towing the trailer but i need to know the "unknowns." For instance, issues related to significant reduction of gas mileage, hill towing capacity and general towing "ease." I hope you get the point. I simply have some serious anxiety about the ease pulling a 5000 lb. GVWR trailer with my Jeep.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
