Hi all,
I'm looking at buying an SRT8, but I need to tow from time to time and I'm troubled by its relatively low (3500 lb) towing capacity. I'm trying to understand why this model should have lower towing ability than the other Grand Cherokees. It seems to be that the larger engine, heavy duty brakes, all wheel drive, and lower (less-tippy) height should all make this model be able to tow MORE, not LESS.
I need to tow about 4500-5500 lbs. Anyone guru enough to know if there's an aftermarket mod (extra transmission cooler, etc.) that I could slap on this model to enable it to tow what I need? I only tow once a year or so and would sure enjoy driving this the rest of the time if I could figure out a way to make it work.
