Max towing for 2014 V6 Jeep Grand Cherokee
We have a 4000 dry wt travel trailer that our Toyota 4 Runner, rated at 4700 lb has trouble towing. Has anyone experience using a V6 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2014 or 2015 to tow this weight?

You're an engineer. You of all people should know there is a lot more to towing a travel trailer than the tow rating. Have you actually towed a travel trailer that size with said TV? Not on a proving ground, but fully loaded on a trip with hills and wind?
That trailer at 4k "dry weight" is more likely over 5k loaded. While I don't doubt for a moment that the GC will tow the trailer safely, personal experience tells me that the closer you get to rated capacities, the less pleasant the overall towing experience is. In this case the OP should plenty of reserve capacity and the towing experience should be pretty decent.
