While the 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee might not be a towing beast that You'd see out of some larger SUVs or trucks, it certainly holds its own with A5,000 pound capacity. Dividing this by ten to get maximum tongue weight, 500 pounds should be enough to handle moSTSmall to midsize trailers or campers. For instance, You'll have no problems pulling most reasonably sized boats. Depending on Your configuration, You can achieve between 230 and 295 lb-ft of torque, which represents a decent amount of "get up and go" from a midsize SUV. Coupled with a payload capacity between 1,182 and 1,432 pounds, and You've got a decent little vehicle for weekend (or longer) trips by Yourself or with the whole family.
