Help
I've decided I would like to move into an RV trailor. It is 25 ft, and wheighs a little less than 5000LBS. My 94 YJ 4.0 is the only vehicle I have. Will it be able to do the job? I plan on finding a place, and setting the trailor. I'm not driving all over heavens creation with it.

You might just find someone with a truck to move it for you if it's local.
I ain't as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I ever was.

COnsodering the trailer limit that Jeep reccomends for most CJ, YJ and TJ is 2K, you would be pushing it. Also, it's not just can your Jeep move it, is it going to stop it in an emergency?

Shoot, Tuesday I saw a Toyota Corolla pulling a 14 ft box truck. Maybe the pedal was stuck, and they were using the truck to keep the corolla from taking off. Saw it at Golden Glades, then a bit later heard about it at Oakland and 95.
No more Jeep. :(
