What are you towing with?

[ARB-XJ]

Nothing fancy but it gets the job done.
05 with the 5.3 and 3.73's.

 

[Mighty.Mighty_XJ]

'02 Durango 4x4 with the 5.9L. Towed really well even tho I was scared the whole time. I'm thinking of putting a weight distrubuting hitch on it soon. I'll never buy a pickup truck - just not for me. I don't look good in a pickup and it would have to be a DD too. Plus I can't back the damn things up. No way.
Next time & until I get the Durango better equipped I will be using my friend's '09 Tundra 4x4 with the 5.7 motor. I'll be more comfortable, but still not looking good .

When i buy, build or steal a trailer I'll be towing with my 09 Hemi Commander.

 

[Mighty.Mighty_XJ]

I've always thought of the Commander as being kinda light, I dunno ... I remember loading my Jeep up on the trailer that the Commander was hauling ... or trying to do so. Okay it didn't have a Hemi, but the whole setup damn near picked up the Commander front wheels off the ground! Then we did it with the Durango instead. She just sat there & took it. We ended up having the Commander haul the CJ instead. My XJ is a fat pig

That's a sweet looking XK ...

 

[xjtrailrider]

Thanks, My XK has the complete towing package which includes the trailer sway control and heavier rear springs and of course the tranny cooler and such. The owners manual is saying 7400# capacity. I plan on a weight distributing hitch regardless.

99 dodge ram 1500 5.9L v8. and i flat tow the xj behind that. i custom modified a RV like tow bar for the jeep that i tied into the stock tow hook brackets for more mounting points to the frame. i just picked up an old 73 cab over camper so we will see how she handles the both of them at the AZ rockfest next month.

I guess I'm the only one that drives a real tow rig...2007 Chevrolet 3500 crew cab long bed with a duramax and some go fast parts. Pushing a little over 500hp and 900 ftlbs to the wheels. I love the thing and it pulls down the highway at 75 without downshifting on inclines. Unlike my old 2001 Dodge 2500 with a Cummins.

It do the job... thats all

 

[POSJ]

LOL guess I deserved that, I got it in December and am still stoked. I gotta talk up my truck since my new to me xj is still a stoker.

Did you mod the truck yourself, or buy it that way? And, everyone I know with CTD powered vehicles is totally happy with them, and the mileage. Most stock, mild or even decently modded Durapuke's I have seen get crappy mileage towing or not. CTD's are the only ones I know that can get mid-teens+ towing.

Shouldn't it be the other way around???

 

[gambit4000s]

ok not really, but a 17 year old, 4 color Chevy dually doesn't look nearly as cool

I modded it myself. I loved my old cummins that motor was a beast for an 01. But diesel technology came a long way in the 6 year difference. I heard about d-maxs getting crappy mileage beefore I bought it too. I just pulled my xj down from north Dakota to Alabama and averaged 14.8 MPG with an average speed of 68mph so it does pretty decent. My old truck only averaged 12ish towing at the same speed. But in all fairness if I could get a Cummins in my truck without destroying the ifs I would do it. Sorry for the long post.

I'd like to see pics of the modification & tow bar ...
