Towing w/ Grand Cherokee SRT8

Too much power, too little drivetrain. Lots of these "performance" things use transmissions and diffs that are just strong enough to handle the motor. A prime example of this is the POS GMC Typhoon that 4Wheeler? made using a stock GMC for less that could actually tow something. The Typhoon had welded up holes were the tow hitch would go and a big shiny "DON'T USE FOR TOWING" sticker. Put a load behind them and they twist things.

Not likely without lots of upgrades.

Find a 4.9 if you want power and towing.

Truethfully, if your into towing often, you are better off with a full size truck or the larger Jeep Commander.

The standard 2009 Grand with a Hemi has almost as much power as the SRT8 and genuine tow capacity. The SRT8 is designed to haul ass, not cargo.

Lon & Doug are on the money on this one. Transmission & cooling capacity issues are sure to pop up as soon as you come across a little hill and put your foot in it to get over the hill at a decent speed while towing anything over a ton. Horsepower = speed & heat, and towing multiplies the problem.

I truly had no idea you were capable of such fine work, Hughes.

No wonder you are known as such an ex-spurt.
