Even though I own a Cherokee ('96) and am happy with it for towing a 2720SL (loaded weight around 3600), I would defintely recommend against one for towing 4500 lbs. Unless that Cherokee has a factory Towing Package (pretty unlikely), the early 90 models had marginal cooling systems and aren't known for having strong automatic transmissions (mine is 5 speed incidentally).

The Bravada and Blazer are basically the same vehicle and have essentially the same engine...and it is a very good engine. Unless one has a factory towing package...take it immediately...then take whichever one is in better shape and has lower mileage. Both are 11 years old and that's starting to the push the limits of being likely to get a reliable used vehicle.
