Re: 98 Grand Cherokee Test Drive?
 

Is it possibly to buy a 2 ton trailer that *doesn't* have brakes ? Scary.
I've got one of these ( 2.7 ton GVW, weighs .46 ton) - lovely little twin
axle braked 8'x6' box trailer. Very stable, even behind the TJ (I limit the
payload to 1/2 ton). The loading ramp and sides are very useful.
