Just a point but for '14 with the towing package the Wrangler Unlimited (4 door) can tow 3500 lbs, the smaller FWD Cherokee with 3.2 V6 4,500 and the Grand Cherokee with 3.6 V6 6,500 (my '12 GC is limited to 5,000 lbs but has no problem towing the 2720SL.)

Have been running mainly at 65 but feels the same (very stable) at 70 and can hold there on cruise. After 100 miles on Interstate at 88-90F trans temp had peaked at 167F indicated and oil temp was under 200F. I tend to drive on temp gauges.

So before you say a Jeep can't tow a TM you have to ask which Jeep ? Just about any current one with a Pentastar or larger engine & towing package can.

ps my towing dates back to the early '70s (mostly race cars then) first with a '69 Econoline, then a '72 Pontiac station wagon with 400 cid, then with a 3800 V6 in a Pontiac TranSport, and now with a 3.6 Grand Cherokee. The GC is without question the best.
