Re: 1998 Jeep Cherokee Sport Question #1-Towing-Transmission
Sam, the Cherokee has an external tranny cooler and you won't need
another to tow your motorcycle. It's rated to tow 5000 lbs, no
worries.
I used to tow my 3500 boat up and down the mountains of the SW US with
my '89 Cherokee with the 4.0L and the same AW-4 tranny you have in
yours.

5000 lbs behind a 3500 lbs vehicle IS something to worry about and it
would "suck" big time with a 5K load that has some frontal are.
ANytime your trailer weight exceeds you vehicle weight you have to be
extra carefull especailly with a short wheelbase like Cherokee.

The 700 lb motorcycle in question does not weigh 5000 lbs. And fwiw,
my '96 Cherokee (with aux cooler) also pulls my 3500 lb boat no
problems. And with the new trailer with brakes, it also now stops no
problems :-)
