[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

Ray,

I used to tow our '84 with a 2006 Jeep Liberty CRD (Diesel). Torque Converter was under engineered. Now towing with a 2009 Jeep 4.7L V8, what a difference!

Hope this is helpful,

Bob

Ray,

I bought a used 2004 Toyota 4Runner V-6 4X4. After 2003 the V-6 is rated for 5000 lbs. of towing. I towed the boat from the shores of New Jersey, across the river from NYC, to Southwest Virginia. This was through the mountains of PA, MD, and Virginia. A five hundred mile trip with zero problems. The V-6 has a slightly higher rating on torque than the available V-8 with a slightly lower horsepower rating than the V-8. MPG 16 City- highway 19-20...without towing.

Good luck on what ever you choose.
