Re: Towing a Caravan - Mechanical strain etc

Myself and my wife (I'm not taking full blame for this...) bought a yacht on a trailer, and then found out my FG/X ute with nearly 299kw couldn't tow it. WTF? I only had just over a tonne of weight I could tow with my YouBeautUte.
I still don't know why, whether it's the drivetrain, suspension or what... a fellow FordForumer offered his RTV ute which delivered the yacht really well.
I scoured FB marketplace and bought a Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.7 V8 for $1250. The suspension was shagged, and I've spent maybe another $1500 getting it up to acceptable performance, but I think it's cheaper than upgrading either my wife's car, or ... no I'm not getting rid of the ute!
My yacht is around 1800-2000 kg,
