So around 25-30% power train loss which is normal. If I re-geared the rear end to 4.10 I would have no problem towing it at highway speeds, even be able to use the over drive on the highway.

You'll have to re-gear both the front and rear pumpkins if you have 4wd.

I don't understand though. Like I said, I have the same engine in my 98' and I tow at around 70-75 with no problems on I95 when I can get away with it.

I think the problem lies in the t-top and what else stick up and around the jeep. It causes a bit of drag when pulling it down the highway. I borrowed a co workers 2500 Ram truck to bring it up here last summer. The MPG down w/o a load was around 22mpg. On the way back up it was running around 18mpg.
I have no idea what the weight is. I know its less than 3000lbs or so.

Ask Ferm about what he used to drag around with his pink jeep.
