bassmedic46 Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 I have a 2004 jeep Liberty 4x4 I was wondering if anyone has pulled with one and how much I can tow with it. I will be installing the tow package thru the dealership Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted March 31, 2008 Super User Posted March 31, 2008 My wife pulled my 21' 1400 miles on a fishing trip to TX. Just make sure that you use tow/haul. Quote
Willzx225 Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 If it is anything like my previous vehicle ('92 Cherokee), You shouldn't have any problem accelerating but braking was my big problem. Once up to speed, I didn't have any problems (as long as I used the tow/haul as well). I was pulling a 20' Skeeter w/ a 200hp on it and it did just fine with the inline 6 Quote
fatmanslim247 Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 It should do just fine, I work on these things for a living. Make sure you do use the tow/haul button b/c if you don't u will eat up the transmission. Braking will probably be the only issue, i dunno if ur trailer has trailer brakes but they help out quite a bit and its nothing to install a trailer brake kit Quote
NBR Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 Check your book for the GVW rating. My guess it will tow okay but stopping might be a different matter. My trailer has surge brakes which are almost as good as the electric versions. My wife has an older Cherokee and we pull with it on occassion. The jeep has no "tow/haul" feature we just don't tow in overdrive. Quote
Live.2.Fish Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 I will be pulling mine with an '07 Liberty this year. But my boat is a 17' Bass Tracker, not exactly a heavy vessal by any stretch. But I still will be towing with the O/D off. Quote
Wilson Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 check your owners manual there is a thing in there that tells your your towing weight. also check local laws about electric trailer brakes if it is over a certain weight you may need them and it is also safer and easier to stop. and cheap safety to install to ensure itis safe for you , others in the vechial, and around you.

bassmedic46 Posted April 6, 2008 Author Posted April 6, 2008 Thank You, According to the manufacture I can pull 5000 lbs. Which is heavier then the boat I will be getting Quote
