 Was curious about 2wd Forerunner, 2wd Tahoe, and the real question late model Grand Cherokee V6 4x4?
 
 Thanks!
 |  Hi 
What are you looking to tow with the vehicle.  The overall weight of the trailer and contents will determine what kind of a tow vehicle you should have.  Also, presuming it's a boat, what kind of launch ramps are in your area.  Here in NJ, where most ramps are fairly steep, 4wd is just about a necessity.  I cannot count the number of vehicles I've towed up the slippery ramp of Leonardo State Marina because they only had 2wd.   
Personally, as my sig states, I'm using a Dodge Durango with 4WD and a 5.7 (345 CI) Hemi engine.  It's got the power I want and need and I just never have to worry about towing.  Before that I had a Land Rover Discovery with a 4.0L V8 and I still have my Jeep Cherokee with it's 4.0L inline 6 engine.  True, 4wd's are not as gas efficient as a 2wd, but for my money the peace of mind is well worth the few extra bucks.  Other's here can give you exacts on the various vehicles you just asked about.  I know that Jeep Grand Cherokees had lots of engine and trans problems back a few years, don't know how they are now so can't help you with that one.
