Doesn't that guy realize it's not how much you can tow, but can you bring what you're towing to a safe and complete stop!

I do believe they put brakes on the TT`s now! on any vehicle the TV stops it weight and the TT stops it`s weight!

IMO these "looky what I saw" type threads without actual specs from either vehicle prove nothing other than entertaining comments.

looking at Jeeps website show a Grand Cherokee can have a 7400 lb tow rating and up to 1320 lb load capacity all depending on options chosen.

Towing safely and getting stopped in a crisis are two completely different creatures. Doesn't look like he's capable of either. And isn't there something about the length of the tow vehicle being compatible with the length of the trailer? I'd rather not be next to him.

The person who took the photo does have a concrete median barrier separating them from that rig!

If I had to guess, I'd say that TT is around 30' long.

That guy clearly didn't ask for TV advice on this forum. Or maybe he did and that's the problem...:W

Maybe he's stealing the TT. No salesmen involved...

I want to meet the RV salesman that B.S. this guy into believing that his jeep was safe to tow this trailer:):):):)

[easycamper]

Wow. People taking pictures of other vehicles on the road instead of paying attention to what's going on in front of them. That is scary!

I would like to see that Jeep stop 35ft. Tail waging the dog.

The Grand Cherokee looks to be supporting the weight of the TT OK.

I'm sure the two bicycles are counter balancing the tongue weight to bring it within specs. :W

That's crazy
Their Grand Cherokee appears to be of the same model year and trim I have (2014 Summit) which allows for a payload of 1050lbs, tongue weight of 740 lbs, and max trailer weight of 7400lbs. However, I cannot tell what the power train is. Could be 3.6l V6, 5.7lV8, or 3.0L Diesel. The V6 has a lower max trailer weight.
The only reason it appears reasonable level is that the vehicle is equiped with "Quadra Level" four corner air suspension. It's nice but as others have stated, it hides overload conditions.
I love my Grand Cherokee and sometimes I wish I had a slightly larger trailer (I tow a 17 footer), but that 35 footer is just way beyond what the vehicle is capable of towing.
