    Anyone tow with the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk?

    Wondering how that would do towing an older X-30 (2002)?

        The wife wants me to sell it to get something "newer". It is 20 years old. She says it's time for a new truck. I told her the only thing I would consider is a Trackhawk. However, when I told her it comes with a $100K price tag, she kind of backed off.

        Instead, she now wants a whole new interior put in the Expedition. I can that!!!

          I was looking to upgrade my wife suburban too, stumbled across a 2015 1500 with the 5.3 engine that ended up having the max tow package. I have a duramax but with the kids i wanted to use the suburban for towing mainly just for vacation. It tows out xstar really good (9,000lb combined trailer weight) max trailer package on suburban is 8500 so i was over a bit. Ill take my truck on the hills and mountains any day but all in all i was very impressed with the suburban.

            I got spoiled after towing with a 3/4 ton in college, and as much as I complain sometimes about my 5.3L Tahoe and how much bouncier the ride is with the boat on the back, it really does a phenomenal job in tow mode. I'm rarely gear hunting.

              Anyone have any experience with Telluride SUV?

              I will have to replace my 07 Armada soon. I'm thinking this Kia has potential.

                I went ahead and bought it—2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee CRD. Great tow vehicle, for this old lightweight MC anyway—and my wife likes it too, a real bonus!

                  I’ve been extremely impressed with the Discovery 5 towing the X23. It’s equipped with air suspension so it levels itself more than shown here with the key off. 8,500 lb max tow rating.

                    I know it's a large boat, but that X23 makes that Disco look small

                      Lifted Sequoia and ‘91 ProStar. New tires coming whenever the Michelin’s wear out.

                        Looks great!

                        The Michelins will dry rot before they wear out.

                          With all due respect, why lift a tow vehicle to make it more unstable while towing almost 4000 lbs?

                            I hear ya. My GX460 has Michelin defenders with 60K on them and they still have 8/32 on them

                              I’ve towed with an 8-10” lift before. I didn’t feel unsafe or unstable at all. Just extra wind resistance and bigger tires.

                                I drove a lifted 4Runner for over 9 years and was towing a boat larger than a ProStar all over the place and never had a single issue.
