The towing capacity for the 2000 Jeep Cherokee is 2,928 to 3,386 lbs, which is the amount of weight that can be pulled behind like on a trailer or an RV. It has a torque oF-150 to 225 lb-ft, which is the amount of turning power that a vehicle has. It has a payload of 1,382 to 1,972 lbs, which is the amount of weight that can be carried inside. It has a tongue weight of 292 to 338 lbs, which is the downward force that the tongue of the trailer puts on the hitch. When driving You should make wider turns at corners and brake sooner than expected. But before towing You should always be safe by doing safety checks before. Always check the tires, the brake lights and that the trailer is secured correctly.

I haven't found any limitations. I installed a hitch on my 2000 that wasn't designed for one. Been towing heavy load's ever since.
