" Jason; a lot of people use the Jeep with the 4.0 to tow, and that is
" basically a 258. 

one caveat: the 4.0 isn't cammed for low-end grunt like the 258.
doesn't matter much with an auto tranny, and the jeep 5sp has a deep
1st gear.

" I think you would want a full frame car with a good hitch, though we
" towed big loads with my 65 Ambo. Again, it is the size of the tow
" vehicle that gives a safe tow.

the cherokee is unibody like amcs and is rated to tow 5000 lbs with
the tow pkg - hd cooling, tranny cooler, trailer brake controller,
etc.  hd rear springs wouldn't be amiss either, but it's hard to
figure out which of the stock springs are hd.

18-wheeler tractors are a lot smaller than their trailers.  you don't
need a big tow vehicle to be safe; you need to learn how to drive a
trailer.

" I would put sub frame connectors on the Concord, a good class 3 or 4
" hitch, and yank off the cat....Russ

couldn't hurt.
