I took delivery of a 2720SL on Saturday and on Sunday was towing it with my Jeep Liberty 3.7 gas engine/tow package. I have the eaz WDH (1000 pound bars on second link of the chains and hitch same height hooked up as it was without being hooked up -- everything is level).
The power of the Jeep seems fine. O/D (mostly) off. 2000 rpm a lot and pops up to as high as 4000 rpm on some grades. Towed on freeways, long grades, and twisty mountain roads. Tranny light hasn't come on yet (keeping my fingers crossed). Handling is okay, but there is some side to side action occasionally which I figure is due to the short (104 inch) wheelbase. But all in all, I am pleasantly surprised at how decent the Liberty tows the 2720SL. I'm getting about 13 - 14 mpg - 15 mpg so far.
