You would be far better off keeping your Jeep.

Agree..

I guess the end result of towing over the recommended threshold will be how your TV handles it and the condition of it after many miles.

How about going over 50-100 pounds over the ball mount tongue weight capacity not the TV?

I got a 5" rise ball mount rated 3500/300 limits, and my rig tongue weight will be between 340-380 lbs.

It will be tested tomorrow on my first camping this season.

Wish me Luck.

Our 4.0 Ranger Splash did fine towing small trailers but someone here probably won't be happy...... they will tell you need a Kenworth............. I wish I still had it I would back it under our 36' fifth wheel take some pics & see what kind of reaction I would get........ Good Luck & enjoy.........

That would be hilarious

I'm surprised there's been no talk of wheelbase. When I got my expy and 28' trailer the concensus was I'd die.
Now the silverado as 24" more wheel base - a HUGE difference, and it does make a difference in ride comfort and backing up i think is easier but can't say I've noticed any difference otherwise.

Its an A-frame.

Congrats on getting the bigger hp. You won't regret it.

Will have to find our pictures of our 81 El Camino with a 24' 5er on it. Like a saddle on a sow, but towed and handled just fine.
