Total cost was $4100.00 installed with added warranties at Gander Rv of Bartow Florida. Very happy with the Jeep installation. Can hardly tell it is set up to tow. Tow bar ports are flush with grill and blend in with the bars removed and the covers on.
Tows very well behind our new 2019 Thor Hurricane 34J who’s hitch is rated at 8000 lbs.
like I said we are very happy with this setup.

Thor Hurricane 34j GCWR (26,000) - GVWR (22,000) = 4000 lbs. Just because you have a 8K hitch doesn't mean you can tow 8K. The Jeep Grand Cherokee with the V6 weights in with a curb weight of over 4,500 pounds empty and if you have the V8 it weights in at over 5,000 lbs.
I highly recommend you take your rig across a CAT Scale for safety purposes because you may be overweight towing a WK2.
