We have a 177, a few pounds lighter, but pretty comparable, which we tow with a Grand Cherokee, (A lot
older than yours!).  It is a 2WD in-line six.  We installed a Class III hitch receiver. a 6000 / 600 WDH, and
an electric brake module.  We have had absolutely no problems.

Now, admittedly, our terrain in Florida ranges from sea level to perhaps 35 or 40 feet.  so your milage may
vary.

Alright folks I need some advice. We have not yet purchased an Rpod but getting closer and closer. We are a family of 4, me, my wife, and 2 daughters, so sleeping room is the first thing I think about. I really like the 178 cause it basicly has 2 queen beds. Now the concern, I have a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee I will be useing as a TV and I still need to put the hithch and wireing and most likely brake control on it. My question is, does anyone else have a similar setup? If so, hows the jeep for pulling? Did you have to add any special parts like trans. cooler? Where in the world did you mount your brake control? Any info, advice, experiences, etc. will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Luke
