We fell in love with a Cherokee 32B, UVW of 7,041 lbs. However, our truck has a GVW of 7,500 lbs. We will only tow it 50 miles to our campsite at the begininng and the end of the season. (and it will be unloaded when we tow as we take things we need throughout the season) Our truck has a 5.3L motor with a 3:42 gear ratio. The only hills we will pull, that concern me, are the last 7 miles to camp. We did put a Cold Air Intake on the truck recently. Of course, the dealer we are talking to says as long as we take it easy we wont have any problems. (but you know sometimes dealers say what they can just to make a deal). Our truck only has 16,000 miles and I don't want to ruin my transmission by pulling it one time. If I can make it until next spring, I will buy another truck. If this trailer will tear my transmission up then we will look at a lighter trailer.
