We have a 2000 GMC Jimmy - similar to Leon's Chevy Trailblazer. We both have had good luck towing 2619 TMs. We've towed ours from Little Rock, AR to our home, to the WA coast, to the east coast - ID, MT, ND, SD, IL, IN, MI, PA, NJ, DE, WA DC, VA, NC, SC, TN, KY, NM, UT, CO, WY, and back and averaged 15 MPG. The only time we overheated was my fault- sitting in a parking lot in Farmington, NM with the air conditioner running. That was DUMB! I have towed with Fords, Chevys, a Mazda, an Oldsmobile, a Cadillac, and a couple of Subarus. The ones I would not want again are the Cadillac and the Mazda - it pinged on regular even without a load. There was no way to change the timing. The Cadillac was a pile of overpriced junk. We towed a small tent trailer with it to NM and AZ and had to get the trans rebuilt when we got back. I will never own another Cadillac but that's just my opinion. Yours may vary.
