Mr. B.,
I, too, liked the Jeep Cherokee as it's towable four wheels down as I'm thinking of changing toads (my sister wants my Honda). I've had two Jeep Grand Cherokee's in the past with less than stellar performance but that was in 1996 and 1999 (both bought new). My thinking was that they have improved quality in that amount of time.
Anyway, my direction has been diverted to the Lincoln MKX (the Ford Edge sister). I was hoping the Lincoln MKC was towable but it is not (Ford Escape sister). Other Fords are towable too as many GM vehicles. You can check the towable guide through Motorhome Magazine on the Internet.
The only con about the Jeep that I've seen is that there were reports of steering problems when being towed. I'm not sure if that has been corrected or if it was just an isolated incident.
Good luck and safe travels,
MM.
