Even though it would be possible to do with a Cherokee, as I pointed out before, it most likely won't be much fun. I still stand behind my earlier recommendation of getting a Chevy Tahoe or GMC Yuken. For some reason they are rather cheap, possibly cheaper than a Cherokee, and are better suited for towing. Whenever you get whatever vehicle you decide upon and a trailer, hit me up and I can give you some pointers. I've been towing a boat since I was old enough to drive smile.gif

Although I'm a GM guy, I have to with Ford on this one. If you're looking used, get a Bronco with the 300ci I6 and the 4spd manual. My Dad had an 87 F-250 as a beat-the-crap-out-of-it hauler and that motor is a torque monster.

Drop one or two extra leafs in the rear spring and you have a hell of a tow vehicle.
