I used to tow our 3326 TM with a Jeep Grand Cherokee with an inline 6 cylinder 4.0L engine. I live in Florida and most of my towing was on flat ground and the Jeep did a good job as a tow vehicle. The TM towed straight as an arrow and even with trucks passing it did not sway. I towed the 3326 up to Cherokee, NC and on some slopes going up it was slow 40 to 45 MPH. So I would say in any kind of mountains the towing capability would be marginal. There is a 500 lb difference between the 3326 and the 3124 so I don’t know what kind of difference that would make. My Jeep did not come with a tow package so I added the class IV hitch, air shocks in the rear to give more clearance between the tires and wheel well, an Equalizer WDH, and most importantly an after market transmission cooler. Five months ago I replaced the Cherokee with a Jeep Commander with a 4.7 L and going up bridges here in town I can tell a big difference in pulling power.
