Scary Towing Sights This Week...
Last Monday I helped my Dad set up at a local CG for the week. While we were setting up we saw a Grand Cherokee pulling about a 28' fiberglass camper. The whole thing just looked awful as it was WAY...

Towed for many years a 21' FunFinder at roughly 6,000 lbs. with my Hemi Jeep Commander rated at 7800 lbs. A friend towed a 28' FunFinder at 6900 lbs. with his Hemi Jeep Commander. Both rigs have been cross country many times, I've since moved to a 5er, but, he's still towing his FunFinder. The Hemi is a towing engine and the GC and Commander's outfitted with it, from at least '08, were rated at 7800 lbs. A good WD hitch to keep the Jeep level was all that either of us needed (loved my Equal-i-zer). Heavy duty engine, axles, suspension, brakes and frame made the towing a breeze and very stable even with a borderline wheelbase; never had a "white knuckle" tow with ours. I wouldn't go over 26'-28' with a GC, but, IMHO, if outfitted correctly, they make fine towing platforms.
Perhaps the folks the OP saw needed a WD hitch, or if they had one, maybe they needed to set it up correctly, but, nothing wrong with the package (Jeep and 28' TT) as long as all the numbers fall in the right range and with fiberglass ultralights, that is easy to do.
