Is you specific Acadia rated for "recreational towing" per the Owner's Manual? If so, what does in actually weigh?
Say it weighs 5000# on the commercial scale at the local Moving and Storage. You can tow it with proper Tow Bar, Base Plate, Safety Cables, Lighting and Supplemental Brakes. That said, you'll feel the difference between pulling 5000# from a stop and a lighter toad say 3000#. From what I understand (and I'm not a Jeep enthusiast so do your own checking) a Jeep Wrangler, small as it looks, still goes around 3500#. So you won't have a Day and Night difference in towed weight. But I still say you'll feel it. Where are you planning to go? The East Coast is hilly. the Blue Ridge and Appalachians are Mountains, but the Rockies are MOUNTAINS. Go there and you'll be in the slow lane, geared down and revved up. But your coach can do it.
