I'm looking at prices from mid teens to low 20s, with under 60k. I'll let you know what else I'm checking out, I've done a ton of research already so I'm just waiting until my car is sold to do anything.

P.S. does it need to be 4x4?

I would need 4x4 for sure.

Brandon, just found some info out about towing with the V6 in the GC, its only rated at 6200 for the 2014 model with the tow package. 5k for the 2011-2013 unless you go V8. Sounds like no tranny cooler is factory (unless you get v8). The tow package adds in oil cooler and rear leveling suspension.

V6 Trailer Tow Group IV $795
•7 and 4 Pin Wiring Harness
•Class IV Receiver Hitch
•Delete Rear Tow Hook
•Rear Load Leveling Suspension
•Full Size Spare Tire
•Steel Spare Wheel
•220-Amp Alternator
•Heavy Duty Engine Cooling

The V8 is rated at 7200 with the tow package, just something to note.

The Durango though seems to have higher tow rating even the 2011 models 6400 with the v6 and tow package. Must be due to longer wheel base, otherwise not sure what the differences would be, same engine and tranny..... lots of conflicting stuff on the internets.

Just saw a black on black 2012 Jeep GC Laredo 49k miles with a v8, roll in here out of our recon department. Chris wants $26,985. New tires.

It's done well at hauling and towing more than most people I know with suvs but it's time to pass it on to someone else looking for daily adventure time driving levels. It also just rolled over 100k, time to sell.

That GC is a bit high in price and I don't need v8 or leather.

I'd be looking at 2014, so yeah with the V6 that 6k tow rating should work good for me.

I drove a loaded 2014 Yukon SLT, as well as a 2014 Durango (both SLX and Limited). Scratching Yukon/Tahoe off my list. For the same price, the Durango was way nicer in just about every way for me. Even the base model Durango I felt was nicer than the Loaded Yukon. Drove smoother, felt more car like,(felt I was in it vs on it), overall interior fit and finish was nicer and higher quality materials used, and the technology (gauges, uConnect, etc) was way better. Even the 3rd row of seating felt more comfy in the Durango which surprised me. Everyone is different, this was simply the case for me. Durango is in the lead currently. I need to go find a GX460 to test out.

The difference is the Durango will be worth $5k in 3 years, the Yukon holds its value. :D

Though, alternatively I'd recommend the Canyonero if you need an SUV.
