Typical factory trailer towing hitches for jeeps are no larger than a class 2 which is rated for up to 3500 pound Gross Trailer Weight and a 350 pound hitch weight. The factory towing package should have a heavy duty cooling system as well as optional transmission cooling system.
Your Jeep can pull a heavy load but not necessarily do so safely or without damage to your vehicle and so great care should be taken to ensure that your rig is outfitted correctly. A phone call to a local trailer hitch specialist will give you good specific information that will allow you to tow with confidence and not tear yourself or your equipment up.

depends on the V8 and towing package, also what speed you will be traveling at. I have a grand Cherokee with a tow capacity of 7400lbs but that is with a weight distribution hitch and electric brakes on the trailer. Once I get over about 21-23ft long with a cargo trailer or travel trailer it is white knuckle driving at highway speeds (65mph) If I keep it at 50mph not much of an issue. I would recommend a slightly larger tow vehicle or a shorter trailer.

Some do, some don't. If it does you can see it at the rear bumper.
The hitch fit for a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee is often compatible with several other vehicles from the same manufacturer, particularly the Jeep lineup, such as the Jeep Cherokee and Jeep Wrangler from similar model years. Additionally, some other SUVs and trucks with similar hitch specifications might fit, but it's essential to verify the specific hitch class and weight ratings to ensure compatibility. Always consult the manufacturer's guidelines or a professional for accurate fitment.
