Still a CD owner wanna be and am wondering if my 2000 Jeep Cherokee, hvy duty hitch, trans cooler, setup for trailer brakes .... is it safe to assume this will tow CD 22' and smaller?
thanks

When I had the CD22 I towed it all over with a 2000 Grand Cherokee, V8 with the 6500# tow package. Didn't even know it was there.

When I got the CD25, I towed it the first few times with the Jeep, including a 300 mile trip up to see Les at EQ Marine. I knew it was there, but it towed it just fine. (Fortunately I didn't have to make any sudden stops!)

I think C-Hawk Roger down in CA towed for a long time with a Grand Cherokee, too. You shouldn't have any troubles.

Hi Mike

We Have a 02 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited that has the factory tow package and we have used it to tow our 22 fT. CD. for the last 4 years any time we are not going over 50 miles from home and the boat is loaded light. I wouldn't feel comfortable towing the boat fully loaded for a two week trip a long distance with the jeep. It not that the jeep couldn't do the job but it would be working it very hard. When ever we are going on a long trip our tow vehicle is our 3/4 ton Ford four wheel drive pickup.

Charlie - Any idea how much a loaded 22 can go? (Want me to delete this smart aleck remark and two of your posts. How's the new Droid working for you?)

Yes please, delete two of them. Other than this event :roll: , the Droid X is great! It sure does eat battery time with all the features turned on though.

I tow mine fairly frequently with a full sized bronco with 351 v8 and it does fine. But as they say, bigger is better as it does not tow as nice as my 25 foot Class C E-450 V10 motorhome. But it does do it, and it does it pretty well. I would assume that the jeep would too.
