Wife is thinking about purchasing 2014 Grand Cherokee for work. She's leaning toward the overland since it seems to have everything 'needed'. One thing we have not settled on is the engine. She's fine with the base V6 but I was thinking we might use this vehicle in a pinch to tow our TT short distances. TT tongue wt loaded is 600 lbs. and overall trailer wt is just under 5000. Will the V6 do OK or should we opt for the V8?
My wife is eyeballing the new Grand Cherokee's also and I would go with the V6 for her, but for 5000lbs towing in a pinch I'm not sure I'd go with a V6.
