TrailManor Owner's Forum - View Single Post - Is towing w/SUV in mountains unrealistic?

My Jeep is considered a medium sized SUV and has a 3.6 V6. It has the factory towing package rated at 500/5000 lbs. It has no problem with the 2720SL and runs cool on the Interstate.

I do drop down a gear or two on mountain grades (Tennessee and Carolinas) mostly to keep the trans in lockup but temps stay under 200F.

ps my 2720SL is currently for sale in Orlando
