We love our Jeep Grand Cherokee W/O a trailer, & the 5.7L Hemi will take you (& the bus on a flat tow if need be) where you want to go...  ;D

Yes, I specifically asked her how it was on the freeway and she said it was just fine, no problems at all and she liked it. I'll have to try that for myself but I have no reason to doubt, so the idea remains feasible at least. Weighs about 1800 lbs. which really isn't all that light for a car that size.

I could just imagine trying to flat tow a bus with my wife as the other driver. Ain't happening. No how, no way, under any circumstances. History proves it. Completely pointless to even consider it. Trying to put her in either vehicle would be a complete waste of time. Not that she lacks the ability mind you, she'd just be completely overwhelmed by the magnitude of the challenge and the results would not be pretty. Been there before, no need to go there again.

So that logic doesn't stand either. Which makes me think, these arguments are all based on "what if". So sure a certain amount of caution and preparedness is always a good idea, but not when it begins to handicap the primary mission. "What if" we had to have an escape pod for the lunar landing? What then, eh? Life is not safe, and there's no way to make it so, but if you can recognize the dangers you can usually escape them. It's the same old Armor vs Artillery argument and there's no end in sight.

I saw it on the Internet. It MUST be true...
