Hi Dick,

Welcome... if you haven't already bought the Jeep..... you might want to 
reconsider..... read this:

<<
A word of caution on the Jeep Cherokee thing.  We used a Jeep Cherokee to 
pull a travel trailer.  The Jeep sets up rather high, and has a short wheel 
base.  We were entering a highway, just got onto the highway off the entrance 
ramp, going not quite 45 mph, a semi flew past us and pulled us into his 
draft, the travel trailer started to fish tail and because the Jeep Cherokee 
was so tall and light we ended up in a full
roll over accident.  Both Jeep and trailer were tossed on their sides and 
side on their passenger sides some 70 feet down the highway.  Both vehicles 
were totaled and all 3 of us were injured.  The state policeman that took the 
accident report told us all that were were very lucky to not have been 
seriously injured or killed as he has seen more serious accidents involving 
the Jeep Cherokees and trailers.   

Right after my accident, a friend of ours was pulling a small snowmobile 
trailer to their cottage and the same thing happened to them.  There was a 
serious injury in that episode.  This friend happens to be an attorney and 
did some research on this sort of thing and found literaly a book of 
accidents involving Jeep Cherokees (both the standard Cherokee and the Grand 
Cherokee) being involved in roll over accidents pulling trailers of all sorts 
(boats, snow mobile, travel, horse and flat beds).

We now have full size pick up trucks with full one ton suspension and a full 
size suburban with one ton suspension.  I am never going back to the Cherokee 
or any sort of SUV for that matter.>>
