Looking at Jeep Cherokee's, NOT the Grand Cherokee, just the smaller Cherokee. I know only the 4x4 can be towed 4 down. Looking for any comments, pros or cons. Thanks

I have had trouble with the Cherokee, as I have posted on other threads:

The rocking back and forth as a dinghy, the problem icon warning lights, not shifting into 9th gear, etc.

I have a Latitude with Active Drive II.

We bought the 2014 Cherokee Latitude 4WD 6 cylinder with Active Drive II new in September and configured with a blue ox base plate.

LOVE THE JEEP! It pulls effortlessly, we have over 3K towing so far, with ZERO issues. I also love the way the Cherokee drives and runs.

Good luck, we are extremely satisfied with our decision.

Tows fine - we have towed our 68 times for a total of over 11,000 miles

Note to tow 4 down you must have the option of Active Drive II transmission - on mine it was $995

Trailhawk comes with this transmission standard

We have a 2014 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk that we tow 4 down. We love it. We had a 2dr. Wrangler that we towed previously. The Wrangler was a fun vehicle and we enjoyed it for several years. But, it wasn't a comfortable daily driver, and after several years we grew tired of it. The Cherokee is a great vehicle for us. Lots of creature comforts and still trail rated to do any two tracking we want to do.
I personally wouldn't have any different vehicle. We tow with the Roadmaster All-Terrain Sterling and use the Invisibrake.
