Toyota Tacoma 2.7 l 4 cylinder. all in all I was impressed with this. If I pulled more I would want something bigger but for Texas it is OK. Colorado, mountains are a whole other ball game, it's a lot more work and no speed records will be set.

'78 Chevy with a 454 turbo400 and 4.10 gears
Since I have had it I have installed a RV Cam double roller timming chain fixed a valve in a head changed it from a standard trans to a auto. Also when I goy it it was brown with a cream color center so I repainted it Blue inside and out its a base coat clear coat that I wet sanded 3 times starting with 600grit and ending with 2000grit and then buffed and polished out so its as smooth as glass. Took me a hole winter to do it

My 5.0 Mountaineer handles the CJ tow fine. It has a factory tow package and I added progressive electric trailer breaking and a little powerdyne supercharger...

The best way to tow a Jeep CJ is with a heavy rig that has a whole lot of power.

I'll have to sniff around for a picture....but I've got an 06 Ram 2500, reg. cab long bed. Yep -- It's got a Hemi. 
I wouldn't be too upset if it had a Cummins, though.

Coldair,
Still have a 2008 Super Duty, diesel. (did I spell that right?) I have a tendency to forget the CJ is back there sometimes. I have to look at the fuel gauge as a reminder.

Driving the two is like Night and Day. The Lincoln has Every avialable Techno feature: Voice command, etc. Your hands never have to leave the steering wheel for anything (audio, climate control, speed, phone/texts-nothing).
The Jeep? Well, it's as BASIC as it gets. The ONLY Electronics on board are the Delco HEI distributor-That's it! It "Hands On" from that point.
Plus, I actually have an activity for my left foot (Clutch).
