anyone using a Jeep Cherokee to tow a T@B?

We have a 2015 Jeep GC with the V6. It tow's very well but fuel mileage takes a pretty big hit about 13 to 14 mpg at 65 to 70 mph.

You didn't say which trim model. Only Limited, Trailhawk, and Latitude have sufficient tow capacity.

We have a 2014 Cherokee Lattitude. Tows the T@b great! Make sure you get the big engine and tow package.

I've towed my T@B with a Jeep Cherokee Latitude, 3.2L six cylinder engine with the factory tow package for the past year.   My previous TV was a Subaru Forester, 2.5L four cylinder manual transmission.   With the 100 extra horsepower the Jeep provides, there is really no comparison.   We took it on a 5000 mile trip this summer, including significant mountain passes in southern Colorado and it performed flawlessly.   Mileage while towing was approximately 18mpg.

 I tow my T@b S with a 2014 Cherokee TH  it works great but the gas mileage goes from 19-20 to 13-14. A plus is the backup camera that makes me look like a boss putting the ball directly under the hitch.

We also tow with a 2015 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk (with tow package)...and as others have stated, it does a great job. Ours came pre-wired with both the a '4 flat' and a '7 blade' style round RV type plug, so it is ready to go for a couple types of trailer wiring. (The round style is what the Tab uses). Our brake controller was a breeze to install also...just had to specify the vehicle model to get the proper adapter/harness...and it all plugged right in in the driver under-dash footwell area). We have also towed over very steep mountain grades; it handles very well.

Thanks to all I have a 2014 Laitude 3.2L but alas not the tow package. Bummerr
