Will a rear wheel drive cherokee meet my needs?
PIC ATTACHED - I found a 2000 Cherokee Sport with 125K miles - it is a California vehicle with no rust being sold where I live in MN. It has a 4.0 I6 MPI engine with rear wheel drive.
I just want a cherokee that will be able to tow across the country 2 touring motorcycle on a small trailer (bikes totaling about 1400 to 1600lbs depending which 2 - don't know trailer weight).
Will this vehicle work for me - could it still have the 8.25 that's been suggested or not on a rear wheel drive?
Thanks!

that's a good looking cherokee.
yes it will tow that weight. matter of fact it will tow up to 5000 pounds. 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive. don't matter.
it could have the 8.25 or the d35. if it has abs, it'll be the d35.

It has been suggested to look for a cherokee with the 8.25 - if this vehicle has the d35 would you turn it down for my needs?

you can always swap in an 8.25 or xj44 later when you find one at a good price.
it wouldn't be a deal breaker for me, cause i can change a rear axle in an hour. but it will pull no problem.
price would be more of a deal breaker.
