As long as you come in under both the GCWR of the coach and its hitch receiver capacity you should be OK.
We have a 34 foot Tiffin gasser and considered the Grand Cherokee but while we would’ve been under the GCWR of our coach we would’ve been over the hitch receiver capacity of 5000 pounds. No dice. Same story for the 3.5 turbo AWD Explorer. So we bought a 2WD Explorer which loaded to our needs falls under 5000 pounds.
(We need a vehicle which can carry a pair of recumbent tadpole tricycles.)
