| I'm not a Jeep kinda guy and confess to not knowing a thing about them.
I do however have a test report from the November 2000 issue of Trailer Life Mag.
They tested a 2000 Grand with a 25' Sportsman Lite TT weighing 5,700lbs which included full water and propane. Some of the highlights of the article were.....
the typical Jeep SUV makes a good tow partner for the Sportsmen 25' TT.
firm but compliant ride
4 wheel ABS brakes gave secure stopping confidence
stability was excellent

Also.... A well known towing specialist once wrote about this generation of Grand....
I have generally found that the Grand Cherokee is one vehicle that tows much better than its specifications would suggest. A 107" wheelbase combined with live axles front and rear should not tow well at all, yet they don't do to bad.
I find the 4.7 to be a great engine,
Most Grands came with 225/70Rx16". This is the best size for towiing.
Hope this helps. Let me know if there are any other questions. The article is a few pages long.
