so she handles her ok? not too much weight? i have a wrangler with the straight six and it is all she has to pull it. just does not feel safe. the boat weighs more than the wrangler.

I trailer mine with a Sienna 2000 with a V6., No problems so far.

I use an I-6 with absolutely no problem whatsoever.... of course it's a 5.9L Cummins. :)

I have an '05 pathfinder. It tows the V20 easily. It's rated for 6000 lbs and I believe it.

I have an 83 full size cherokee with a straight 6. Its basically the same engine as in the newer ones. The truck is much heavier than the newer cherokees and Gc's and it pulls the v without any troubles.

I tow my V with a 97 4wd Tacoma with a 190 hp V6, automatic transmission and it pulls it OK. I always take it out of overdrive when I tow it.I had a little trouble stopping it so I added a set of Kodiak disc brakes to the front axle and now it stops great!
