I have a Durango with the 5.7L Hemi and tow a 5000lb TT. It pulls it fine but I would not want to pull 6700 lbs with it. I live in a mountainous state and at 5000lb I'm down to 35mph at high RPM's up the steeper grades. If you live where its flat it should do fine.

The new grand cherokee have a 3.08 rear with the hemi I think which would reduce your available rear end torque and thus make towing worse
