Anyone towing with 2014 Grand Cherokee/Durango?

Is anyone here towing with the new 8 speed transmission in a Jeep Grand Cherokee or a Dodge Durango? If so, please let me know your opinion and experiences, including which engine and what size trail...

The Jeep GC 3.0 is very similar to our TV, which is a VW Touareg 3.0 8-speed. With your TT it will be a great combination. We can often cruise in 8th gear at 60MPH turning about 1550 RPM. Any type of hill or headwind drops to 7th gear or lower. It's on the turbo 90% of the time towing so don't expect great fuel mileage, but the power is wonderful climbing hills.
