I would strongly advise a trooper as the tow rig. I would go with a 3/4 ton truck there is no point in buying a tow rig if it takes all the enjoyment out of going on the trip.

I towed with my brothers 98 rodeo my 94 rodeo it was only 20 miles on a car dolly stopping was scary. I have towed the rodeo and a 79 full size bronco on a car hauler with no brakes with my 2500hd and stopping a breeze. A good cross wind could throw the trooper over.

I have a friend he claimed his cherokee XJ towed his wrangler great. but he got yanked by the trailer and rolled both over. I would only use an isuzu to tow in a pinch the brakes are not even close up to the task.

I got 9 mpg towing a 2000lb boat from california with my 94 that is big block mileage
