The 4.0 in the GC has a towing rate of 4K or less, the 5.2 is good, I don't
know if they offered the 4.7 in the GC or only the Dakota/Darango, I had
a 2000 Dakota 4x4 with 4.7/auto and it towed great, very stable.

That said, I now tow both my travel trailer and my open car trailer with a
Ford F350/4 door/4X4/8 ft bed/diesel. Is it overkill for what I tow? YES!!
But it was a very good deal when I bought the truck and it was cheaper
than much lesser trucks I looked at.
