Which crossover SUVs can tow more than 5,000 lbs? Tow ratings like that usually require a V8.
As for me, the diesel-powered Grand Cherokees fit our needs as it can tow our 5,000 lb. travel trailer with ease, yet is small enough to fit in our tiny garage or easily maneuver tight parking lots downtown.
If one puts lots of miles on their rig, it can save money in the long run even if diesel remains slightly more expensive than gas.

yep, who will blow that kind of money, and put up with the hassle of a diesel, Just to tow a TT that a smaller less expensive SUV cross over could tow.
