Welcome to the forum! Lots of good, knowledgeable folks here and tons of information. Our kids were extremely excited when we got our first trailer (over 40 years ago). It will open up so many ways to enjoy camping.

Sounds like you've done some homework on the Grand Cherokee and the trailer combo. As the time gets closer, or maybe sooner, look into ways to make the GC more stable towing. The suspension is soft for comfort as are the tires. Even the 1760 will want to push it around. At the very least I would upgrade the tires to LT to minimize the "squish" and lateral movement. Get a good weight distribution hitch with sway control (I recommend Equalizer). Most unibody vehicles don't allow them but I believe I just read in another thread that the GC does.
