Need Guidance 360 Cummins

[T2RV]

We are looking at buying a 37- 38 Newmar with a 360 Cummins. Will that tow a Grand Cherokee in the mountains?

While not a Newmar this may help give you a feel for it. We have a 40' Coachman Encore TS with a 330 hp Mercedes. We tow a F150 SuperCrew 4 WD through the mountains on occasion. We have not had issues. We do not fly up the mountains.

I had the same engine towing 8k lbs ( 3/4 ton crew cab diesel )

It overheated on extreme climbs and long consistent climbs requiring me to slow down or take pull outs.

Your vehicle is far lighter and will not be a problem.
