Towing- 2/2004 Polaris MSX 150 watercraft on double trailer/ 240 lbs tongue-2400 lbs trailer and watercraft
4 bikes on Reese hitch mount carrier 16" extension from pin to pin- aprrox. 140 lbs.
Jeep- 2 adults/ 2 kids and enough stuff in back for a weeks vacation down to Lake of the Ozarks from MN.

Jeep performed fantastic, pulled almost every grade locked in O/D, only kicking out when I wasn't paying attention and getting boost built at bottom of grade. Mileage- Hampton, MN to Ozarks 18.8 MPG/ 70-75 MPH
Ozarks to K.C. WOF 18.4 MPG/ 60-75 MPH
K.C. WOF to Hampton MN 20.3 MPG/ 72 MPH
Temp gauge stayed 1 needle width under half except for a few long pulls, where it would climb a couple of needle widths past half. I pull with O/D on except when slowing for small towns or under 50 MPH. Temps were between 90-100 degrees the entire trip, with most of the trip home approaching 100. Trip date was July 25th - July 31st.
