Towing concern(s)

Can a 24ft class B with either a Ford V10 or a Mercedes 6 cylinder be capable of towing a Jeep Liberty that weighs in at 3800 lbs?

Ive never had a class B with either engine so Im at a total loss to this question.

Thanks

Can you tow it? Sure. Is it a good idea? Well, that's a definite maybe. I'm assuming you have a B+ (actually a class C) since 24 feet is rather long for a B. I'm also assuming you have an automatic transmission. You will definitely need a transmission cooler in addition to the radiator. You'll need a unit with proper gearing. 3.5 won't cut it but 4.11 might. Lastly, you'll need to have brakes on the toad. Are you going to use a dolly or flat tow it? That extra 2 tons can overwhelm your braking system and you won't know it until you can't stop.
