However, a reasonable estimate for a 1990 Jeep Cherokee 4.0L with a properly equipped towing package would be around 2,000 to 3,000 lbs. Without a factory towing package, the capacity would be significantly less, potentially as low as 1,000 lbs.
To find the precise towing capacity for *your* specific 1990 Jeep Cherokee, you should check:
* The owner's manual: This is the most reliable source.
* The sticker on the driver's side doorjamb: This sticker often lists important specifications, including towing capacity if the vehicle was so equipped.
* The vehicle's build sheet (if available): This document details the exact options and specifications of your Cherokee.
Keep in mind that even with a towing package, exceeding the recommended towing capacity can be dangerous and may void warranties. Always account for the weight of passengers, cargo, and the trailer itself when determining your total towing weight.
