Hi all. New to travel trailers and first time poster

Hoping someone can help with a towing capacity question.

Can a 6200 lb towing capacity properly equipped Jeep Grand Cherokee adequately tow an RPOD RF-195 with a UVW of 3587 and CCC of 1175.

My understanding is you add the two which is 4762 and add a pad of 1000 lbs and want less than 6200.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Looks ok to me. Should be a comfortable ride. A WDH would probably be a very good accessory to the tow package.

That should be a perfectly adequate tow vehicle for a 195. I tow one with a frontier which is the same tow capacity, and have no issue. Good luck

+3. That should work fine as long as you don’t go crazy with gear. Weigh the rig with fully loaded tow vehicle and trailer so you know how much headroom you have. If you do a search I have posted how to do that at a public scale as well as an online calculator to put your data in.
