Re: New Jeep, and New to Jeep.... Maybe
 

Im not sure either what the difference is, I looked at both and the only difference was the $475. and the visual hitch and wireing harness. I saw nothing abot anti sway or tranny coller. I would have gotten the two package but the jeep I wanted didn't have it so. I added it mine cheep $165.00 total, looks factory and I towed with it this past weekend with out any issues. Mind you I only tow a small utitily trailer.

I don't think there is a difference worth worrying about.... I Got the 70th Anniversary and LOVE IT!! I know folks with a Pentastar Cherokee.... they are pretty underwhelmed...
Mine didn't come spec'd with the tow package ...but for the deal I got I really couldn't say no.... remember...you won't get those $3.2K rebates on a 2012....and you can negotiate one off the lot for significantly less than invoice.....
I picked up a Smittybilt hitch receiver and wiring harness form justjeeps.com for $125 tax in.... the hitch receiver just bolts on with a torque wrench and the 4 way wiring harness plugs into the tail-light.... 30 minutes diy job....and I am no mechanic.... if you want I think Van and Truck world will fit it for $90....and yes...it's rated to 3500lbs

quite a gentle start to modding....even the wife will understand :rolleyes:

Yay.... first post!!...Hi everyone!!

You got that right !

Re: New Jeep, and New to Jeep.... Maybe
 

Try a search on google for your answer, I would assume the answer is out there (somewhere). Once you get bitten by the Jeep bug, it's tough to get over it.

I prefer the Challenger, enjoying my '09 R/T. The Camaro's are nice, but doesn't ring my bell.

G'luck on your choices and don't look back.
