new tow vehicle

Hello!  I haven't visited the forum in quite awhile; glad to see familiar names.  Well I had to retire my beloved 2004 Jeep Liberty and start searching for a new TV.  It was quite a search.  I love jeeps, and looked at other makes but eliminated many because of their tow capacity.  My Liberty towed 5000 lbs and even with plenty of capacity, it was still a bit of a strain on the hills and "mountains" here in AR.  I wanted another small SUV but they just don't make them with at least 5000 TC anymore.  Apparently better fuel economy is more important.  Even the toughest Rubicon only had a 3500 TC, so I settled for a Jeep Grand Cherokee at 6200 TC!!!  Oh my!  Nice, even though it is bigger than I like, it tows Tab like a dream up those hills.  Plus the back-up camera lines up the jeep with Tab perfectly!!  I definitely believe extra TC is the best way to go when considering a TV.
