I am finding some of this very confusing as our suv has a class IV hitch rated for 100 lbs. The trailers we are looking at are less than 450 in touch get weight. Are you possibly confusing the cherokee with the Grand cherokee?
I should back up a step, and explain that the hitch rating (1100 lbs tongue weight you refer to) is the rating for the hitch receiver that's attached to the bottom rear of the Jeep. It is not the rating for the Jeep itself. All I meant the other day was that your hitch is plenty stout. The rear suspension, the attachment points, and other factors come into play. I just looked at the 2014 GC owner manual I have, and for the 5.7L 4wd model it says 7200 lbs max towing with 720 lbs max on the hitch. Check your manual when you can because they can change the numbers sometimes.
