[Rot 911]

I have found a 1949 Willys Pickup truck I want to buy. Problem is getting it home. It is 340 miles from my house, but all interstate. Truck weighs 2850 lbs. I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee with the inline 6. Jeep weighs 4000 lbs. My owners manual says I can tow 5000 lbs. I have the tow package with the Class 3 hitch. According to u-haul they have a dual axle trailer with surge brakes that weighs 2000lbs. So as you can see I am close to maxed out. I don't know anyone else that has a bigger truck. I would think as long as I am careful I should be able to tow the truck home. My only concern is that I don't want a situation where the trailer is driving my Jeep! Anyone knowledgable on here that can weigh in with some useful information? I have lots of experience towing. My gut feeling is as long as I am careful and don't speed and take my time braking I will do ok.
