Changing my Jeep Wrangler for a Cherokee Trail Hawk
We changed out our pusher recently for a Phoenix Cruiser so decided to get a smaller/lighter toad.

I test drove a Jeep Cherokee Trail Hawk and loved it. Dealer is looking for one with the options/color I want.

It has been fun building out the Jeep, on now to doing up the Phoenix as my next project.


Anyways anyone flat tow a Cherokee?

Here are some photos of the cool stuff I added on.
Will try to sell privately to try to recoup some of my loss.

The main reason for exo skeleton roof rack is a Wranglers roof is non load baring and weight limit of 80lbs,the rack is 300 or 350lbs limit.

I didn't realize the Cheroke Trailhawk was any lighter than the Wrangler. My stock JLU Sport outfitted to tow is 4407. What does the Cherokee Weigh?

Make sure you can flat tow.
Something to do with the transmission.
Read the owners manual before buying

We have been towing our TrailHawk for over 2 years now and love it. So easy to set up.
