My understanding when I was shopping is that a C's frame has been modified in a way to make towing heavy loads unsafe. The retailers that told me this did not have Super C's on the lot, so I did not take it as a reason to sell me up. Since I tow over 7,000 lbs, I ended up with the Super C.
For what it's worth, I've owned Jeep Cherokees (the XJ model made from 84 to 2001) since 1999. The 97-01 models are excellent vehicles, and good 4x4's can be purchased for around $3,000-4,000. My daughter is 16, and she got a Cherokee that had been used as a toad all its life as her first car. They weigh just over 3,000 lbs., and most of them are automatic 4 doors.
