Yea, it's a size thing I think cause if you go to uhaul they won't give you a tow cart for a Cherokee but a grand Cherokee they would.

I dont use U haul.. got my own trailers. And the only thing Ive ever needed to tow that was too heavy (our tractor) I wouldnt feel comfortable doing with my cherokee, so I borrow a nieghbors trailer and my dad's truck.
The one time I went to uhaul (before I had trailers) they gave me a huge utility trailer for my crappy little Geo tracker.

But cherokees are SUVs, indeed the first true sport utility vehicle.

On a side note.. Moving in a snow storm SUCKS

From my wife: If that's a station wagon and you like driving one then why don't you trade it for a mini van or atleast something with AC and power accessories? WTF?!

I pulled a 6x12 trialer from Tampa to Indiana stacked 10' high like the Clampits in my old 95 Country. Exactly 100miles per tank on a 900 mile trip. But, I'll tell ya that good ole XJ torque pulled right past every diesel on the inclines. Proly burned 3x's more fuel but it was worth every drop!!

My brother owns an s 15 Jimmy and his is also called a station wagon so I didn't get too upset when my title said the same thing. It still says the important but that matters on the title...Jeep.

My dad: You wanna sell it soon? You should sell it and get a baja bug

....baja bugs are fun, but I love my XJ too much to sell it.

Friends - "Is your Jeep going to explode or something?"
Me - No???
Friends - Then why do you have a fire extinguisher mounted on the passenger side?
